“It's impossible to explain what I felt in that moment, just very, very happy to win this title. For me, it is a dream to play in this tournament. But to win, I never imagined something like this.”

“He's a fantastic player and he's going to be around so much longer so I'm happy with every one I get before he takes them all”

“I felt like what I saw was the old classic Rafa on clay hardly losing sets and matches. That's what we got from him. That's why it's going to be incredibly hard to beat him here at Wimbledon.”

“If you are playing bad you are going to lose here, on clay, on ice, or on the beach.”

“I just wanted to see how the shorts felt again.”
