“Normally I am very critical with myself,” Nadal said. “I hit great shots. I played aggressive. I missed balls, not too many, but I missed some ones. When you play with that intensity, with that level of risk, that level of passion, sometimes you go over.

“[But] nothing to complain [about]. I think I played a great match. I have not much more inside me. I gave it my best, and that's it. It's fair to say that was a great match and he beat me. Well done for him.”

“Today was another great match. I felt, of course, that I lost an opportunity to try to win another very important title for my career. But that's it, nothing else. I go for holidays proud of the things that I'm doing,” Nadal said. “This is my second loss of the year, playing a lot of matches, playing well almost all the time. I think I did great work. It’s difficult to come back after injuries for a long time and have these kind of results, so I am proud of myself.”

“I [was] playing against one of the best players in history,” Nadal said. “[It was] a great match. I think a fantastic level of tennis for both of us. I was not a spectator, but I think it was a great show for the fans. Of course, [I’m] not happy with the final result. But of course, [I’m] happy about being part of this match.

“In these kind of matches between probably two great players, both of us playing so well, anything could happen,” Nadal said. “That's it. Today was for him. Well done.”
