Above all, incredible matches.
It was an incredible match. Of course it’s hard for me to lose, especially since I was two sets up. But huge kudos to Joao because he deserved to win the match. I think he was without a doubt a better player in the crucial moments. I don’t think I did much wrong. It’s just that he was simply better.

Great for this kind of experience here now.
Novak, will we see you here again next year at the tournament? I don’t know it. Would it be okay if today was your last game against a player like that? I don’t know it.
