"Of course this has been what I've been working for, to play matches like that, and why not win them?" Dimitrov said. "Today was one of these days that I felt good on court. I felt I had enough hours of practice in the weeks before. I felt that I could actually hang with Novak the whole match. That's the whole purpose of getting ready for big events and eventually for big matches."
"I thought the tie-break was pretty intense obviously," said Dimitrov. "He stepped up on a few shots. He's Novak. In the end of the day, you can expect anything from him. He played a great tie-break, so I couldn't do much... Of course I tried to stay really positive. I believed in myself. I think that was the big sparkle coming into the third set."
"It's a great win for me. Good day at the office. I know it's a big thing, of course. But you got to stay on the ground. Hopefully you're going to face these guys for years. You never know how it's going to be next time... You got to be ready and try to work at it every day and see it as just another test to do and something exciting to look forward."
