I'm satisfied with my form this week, but I'm not happy yet. I'll try for that tomorrow. I had couple of weeks off and I'm hungry to play and hungry to win.
I don't have an explanation for today's game. I felt good going into it, but somehow things did not work out.
I'm in the final, I'm excited and fired-up. I felt the power and support of the crowd and I just did it.
I saw him playing in Queen's and know he played a couple of good matches.
Jonas played a perfect match today, ... I was caught up by his very quick playing from the beginning with his kick serves, his returns, passing shots...all of them were so powerful. He didn't let me play much, he controlled the game and played very aggressively.
It was a good win but what I am aiming for is a title and not just another semi-final or final.
I have already played him three times and I knew what to expect from him. I was hanging in there waiting for my chances.
I have found my rhythm and am winning matches, which is the most important thing.
I'm in the final, I'm excited and fired-up.
