00:00 Incredible to be able to win it after quite challenging circumstances for me this week.

00:12 Basically coming back from brink of losing three matches in a row on Wednesday, Thursday

00:20 and Friday.

00:21 Sorry, Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was very close to losing those matches and somehow

00:26 managed to find extra gear when it was needed.

00:30 Today I think we both were quite tight at the beginning and you could see that he was

00:37 running out of gas a little bit, myself as well, but I somehow managed to find an extra

00:42 shot over the net.

00:45 I think the match was closer than the scoreline indicates, but another amazing win for me

00:51 so I'm very proud of this one considering what I've been through this week.

00:55 What were your words to Grigor Cisnov?

01:00 I've been in these situations before many times, losing finals and I've been blessed

01:06 to of course win more finals than I lost and I really hope that he will continue to play

01:15 on a high level because he's been playing some of his best tennis this week and I wish

01:19 him all the best.

01:20 I hope he can win big events.
