“
I feel alive in my career.
I started the match very well.
My first two sets (won 6-3, 6-2) were the best I've played...in a long time.
I know how good Matteo is.
He is a very solid player, very dangerous.

At 35, the Spaniard can make history by winning a 21st Grand Slam title, a record for men.
“
We need to suffer and we need to fight It's only thanks to that when I'm here today.
I was a bit unlucky in my career with several injuries.
I've been close (to winning a Grand Slam) many times.
When I won here in 2009, I never thought I would have another chance in 2022.
