badly deserved easy match style surprise
He deserved to win. The match was very easy for him, ... His style of play didn't surprise me, but what did surprise me was how badly I played.
great start
It has been a great start of the year,
feeling good pain results shoulder stay
I am feeling good with my shoulder and this is the most important thing. I have no pain and I know that if I stay healthy, the results will come.
afraid feeling point waited
Today, I was feeling comfortable. I wasn't afraid to keep the point going. I just waited for my chance.
anyone beat cannot focus hungry percent playing
I don't say that he cannot lose, but anyone would have to be playing 100 percent to beat him now. He's young and hungry for titles. But he has to focus on the big events, which I think he's doing.
confident match open pity playing
I was playing very well, I was very confident and the match was pretty open so it was a pity to end it this way.
both chances lots
I think I was very lucky. He had lots of chances in both sets.
chances good paid played produced second took winners
I thought I played well but he was still good enough to take a set off me. He produced some good winners in the second set and the chances he took paid off.
fact lower
The fact that we know each other very well is better for the one who has a lower ranking. In this case, it's me.
perfect today wish
You have to play perfect and wish that he is not going to be at his best. I think today these two things happened.
player thinking years
I honestly think I am a better player than I was four years ago, when I was No. 1 in the world.
rome years play
It's not easy to play your best for 40 weeks. It happens every year, I don't play well in Rome or Hamburg -- I don't know why -- but then I play well after that.
sorry knowing people
I was worried a bit at the beginning because I didn't know how the situation was. Once the ATP wanted to do the tournament, I realised there was no risk at all. I'm very sorry about what happened. It's not easy to be here knowing so many people were killed very near from here.
bit finished hot legs weak
It was very hot and humid out there and I started badly, my legs were a bit weak when we finished the first set.
