This trophy is so special in the world of tennis and it feels great.

There were many occasions in my career where I could have given up, where I asked myself whether I would ever make it.

Yes, I have had difficult times on court and at certain tournaments but you need to forget about it and go forward because that's the way it works in our world.

I definitely wanted this win today and I don't want anybody to talk about my nerves anymore.

It took me time to adjust and to realise it was not going to happen like it did in the juniors.

Unlike in my young days I'm not able to eat, drink and sleep tennis.

We all had, at some point, matches we should have won and we didn't and that's the game. That's just the way the sport is. Otherwise, if everything was written before, we don't need to play.
