Most of the top players I talked to, nobody agreed on that
I’ve made a decision to take part in the tournament this year

This was one of the most difficult decisions in my career, but it is impossible for me to play and think about tennis
I have decided not to take part in the Serbia Open to try to get some much needed rest. This is probably one of the most difficult decisions I have made in my career
After consulting with my family, I've made a decision not to take part in the tournament this year
It's frustrating when somebody serves over 70% of the first serves in with that angle and with that speed and accuracy. It's a matter of belief, I think, in the end, and confidence on the court.
It's been a tough week, not just for me but for everybody in my family
I definitely don't want to take away anything from Rafa's win. He was a better player ... But it's a fact that I just didn't have any emotional energy left in me.
As far as I know, most of the top players I talked to, nobody agreed. I never played on blue clay. Rafa didn't. Roger [Federer] didn't. If you don't have the top players agreeing on that, it doesn't make sense for me really
Congratulations [to Nadal], you deserved to win for how you played this week
I’m sorry for my performance today, Rafa played well and deserved to win
I've never been caught up in this kind of emotional situation before
I think today he played just enough to win
It will be the most difficult match for me in this tournament
That’s probably one of the most difficult conditions that I played in, in my career, really ... It was not just the strength of the wind that was blowing, it was the changing of the direction. You couldn’t really predict where the ball was going to come from. It was really tough. But in the end I manage...
He's the best ever in history of the sport on this surface. It's an ultimate challenge
That was the turning point probably
It’s going to be the only blue clay court tournament in the world, first time ever in history
In the first game, I saved the break points ... After that, I tried to encourage myself and be positive on the court. There was a change of momentum when I made a break (for 2-0). Then I felt more comfortable, more confident hitting the ball, other than just defending. That was the turning point probabl...
They were probably some of the most difficult conditions I've played on in my career
Under the circumstances I didn't know if I could reach the final this week
