“It annoys me to be next to this trophy and not be able to touch it. First of all, I want to congratulate Jannik, he more than deserved it. You are the best player in the world, by far. J I was hoping to be more competitive today but he was just too good. Congratulations to you and your team. You are doing everything very well, and no one deserves this trophy more than you..”
“I will come back and try to lift this trophy again”
“I thank my team. We try to do everything right but I’m just not good enough, it’s as simple as that (audience applause). I appreciate what the whole team has done, from my injury to reaching second place in the world. I wouldn’t be here without them. I thank Craig (Tiley), arguably the best tournament director in the world. I’m not lifting the trophy but I’ll come back and try again.”
