It was really bad, I mean a disaster, and at the start of the match, when I went 3-0 down, i said to myself 'OK, you fight, you try to put the ball in the court more than him, even if you miss many' and in the end, I won. It was a battle with myself.

I feel that I'm physically and mentally exhausted. I can't be 100%. As a professional, I cannot step on court knowing that I'm not 100% ready to play, it's very sad, because I really wanted to play in Moscow in front of my home crowd... it's professional sport and I must do what's best for my body. In this situation, I had no choice.

It was an amazing match, it's an amazing story. All this summer is amazing for me. I will remember every moment of it. I have a really good memory if we talk about tennis. I'll definitely remember it even when I'm, like, 70 years old.

Talking about Rafa, it's tough to find words, he's one of the greatest champions in the history of our sport. He's just a machine, a beast on the court.

After the match, I engaged a little bit with the crowd, but we all know how New York crowd can be. New York crowd's probably the most electric crowd in the world, I think. Especially, I mean, playing this week on big courts, I could feel it. Today I was just engaging with the crowd and hopefully -- hopefully it was fun for them and for me. As I said, it gave me a lot of energy to win.

Daniil Medvedev

I was just so happy about my win today that I just decided to do something special my first quarterfinal, because I saw some comments already that some people think it was against the crowd. It was not at all. It was just showing how happy I was to be in the quarters.

Daniil Medvedev

Thank you all, guys, because your energy tonight gave me the win, because if you were not here, guys, I probably would lose the match. Because I was so tired, I was cramping yesterday. It was so tough on me. So I want all of you to know when you sleep tonight, I won because of you.

Daniil Medvedev

The energy you are giving me right now I think it will be enough for my next (four) matches. The more you do this the more I will win for you. Thank you, i want all of you to know when you are asleep tonight I won because of you.

Daniil Medvedev

I paid for it the whole match but the crowd was electric, even the bad energy I needed to turn it into good energy and that's why I won.

Daniil Medvedev

First of all I can say thank you to all you guys because your energy tonight gave me the win, if you were not here I would probably lose the match because I was so tired, I was cramping yesterday and it was hard for me to play.

To finally lift the trophy this week is an amazing feeling.

It would be not a good feeling if I lost three finals in a row so it's just a relief and I'm so happy, i started feeling cramps at 5-3( in the second set), first time in three weeks I started cramping, probably because of the nerves and it's been 24 days in a row I played tennis.

Daniil Medvedev

I need some days off, i've been playing tennis for so long in a row. I just need to stay in the bed for a few days watching the TV 24 hours a day.

Daniil Medvedev

I was expecting a tougher match, i was happy that I was able to play so well, to beat him so easily. It saved me a lot of energy. It gave me a lot of confidence so I'm very happy.

Daniil Medvedev

We all know how Nick can play when he wants to win, this week, I think he wanted to play, and it was tough.

Daniil Medvedev

I'm happy to win the title - this is what I came here for, i was the better player today and I deserved to win.
