“Just very happy. This trophy means everything to me today,” said Nadal, who was moved to tears by a video tribute after the match. “The last three hours of the match have been very intense, very tough mentally and physically, too. With the video, the crowd that have been as always amazing, all these facts make the moment super special. Unforgettable moment.”

“I need to think about the rest of the things. I play to be happy. Of course, the victory makes me super happy.” “All the things that I achieved in my career are much more than what I ever thought and what I ever dreamt. I would love to be the one who has more, yes. But I really believe that I will not be happier or less happy if that happens or does not happen.
