In each set there were spectacular points, we both came close to winning and losing, it could have ended up in three sets or four sets, and it’s a game that both Jannik and I will remember throughout our careers.
When you get a result of this type, there are many emotions that are experienced on the skin. As soon as the game was over, a lot of things went through my head. I saw my whole team, my family, I couldn’t really think I qualified for the first Grand Slam semifinal. With all that has happened, with the emotions that I have felt, I do not think now I am able to give due importance to this achieved result.
While Rafa, Roger and Djokovic are the best, our rivalry is only just beginning. Today we have shown that we are the present, and at the same time we have a long career ahead of us, we will play against each other many times, we will show our level in important games, in important tournaments, in important stadiums. We met four times in less than a year, and I think we will meet many, many more times. “
