This was another amazing match, really tough to play against Daniil, I lost to him in U.S. Open but today came back strongly on the fourth and fifth sets, the level was super high and it was a great atmosphere. It's amazing to keep playing here, I'm really happy to be able to continue to play at this level here and I'm looking forward to the quarter-final.

As a tennis player you have to get used to losing every week. Unless you win the tournament, you always go home as a loser. But you have to take the positive out of a defeat and go back to work. Improve to fail better.

I still think that I'm dreaming. It's a strange feeling. I always try to watch the final of Grand Slams because that's where the best players are playing. ... I never expected to play a final. I never expected to win a Grand Slam. And right now I just did it.

It's simple - I love food. I am travelling all-year round, so I have the chance to eat every food possible, so I am really lucky with that.

I like to go to Mauritius on holiday. by Stan Wawrinka

I like to go to Mauritius on holiday.

It's never the way you want to finish a match. I'm really sorry for Novak, we've played amazing battles all of my career. I want to keep my level (from) tonight. I was playing super good tennis. I'm happy to be back.

For sure I could see some little thing that he was in trouble, but I was most likely, most of the time, focused on myself because I know how well he can fight. I know how well he can come back. Doesn't matter how he's feeling on the court, and that's what I was focusing on.

I was feeling good on the court, i was playing well. The more the match was going, better I was playing, I was hitting really hard the ball. I was feeling great on the court. That's the most important.

I saw that I could increase my tennis level in the right moments, in important moments, i want to continue, and I will try to do that tomorrow.

I am very sad because after Beijing and London I would have liked to experience my third Olympic Games in Brazil; unfortunately that will now not be possible.

I think he's been an amazing player for many, many years, he always tries to be a better player. The way he's improved on clay is quite impressive, because now he's winning a lot of tournaments.

He has been playing at a different level from the rest of the players. He’s number one by far. It’s going to be tough to beat him this year.

I was not in a good position, that’s for sure, i played one good point, aggressive, then he missed an easy forehand, and you’re back.

I'm feeling great for sure. I'm really proud and happy the way I am doing it, for me it's been amazing to think that I won the Australian Open and French Open by beating the number one and two players in the world. Playing my best match ever on clay this year in the final, that has given me a lot of confidence.

Honestly I don't try to compare Stan Wawrinka to them or try to be part of a group. I just want to do the best I can in my career, i'm really happy with what I have done especially in the last two years because that is when it all started, with the two grand slams, the Davis Cup( title in 2014) and everything.
