He's improved a lot in the last few months and I expect it to be a tough match,

Rafael played a great match, it was tough to lose.

I had to get back into the match. I almost had the feeling it was an uphill battle all the way.

He's improved incredibly. I think we're all surprised he got so far because there's other very talented youngsters who I thought would make the break before him, but he proved us all wrong.

I felt very unsure about this match, to be honest. I had a bad feeling about it but what matters is how I play and in the end I was very happy.

I played tough and consistent and when I needed to serve well I did that too.
