I have known him for a long time, we played juniors together and won the junior doubles at Wimbledon in 1999, so we know each other's game very well.
He fell down a little bit after the first set. And I played better and better and better.
I tried to play my game, but I never couldn't make it. So was tough. Was windy. He played incredible. So was really tough.
I haven't played on clay this year - but the clay surface always favors us.
I played well today. I was comfortable although it's difficult to compare my level with last year. But if I keep up this standard, I will be in the final again.
I played almost perfect from the beginning until the end. So I'm very happy.
I didn't spend a lot of time on court, so I am happy for that. I am happy because I played very good. Every round, better and better.
