I didn't expect to be in the final. I'm very happy.

He's pretty confident right now. Somehow he found the right shots, he got the lines and match point he got a frame winner return, so you have to be a little lucky, too, sometimes.

I went to the toilet in Saturday's match with (Tommy) Haas because I was tired and not feeling too great.

It is hard to win in front of your supporters, but I am happy that in the end I gained victory.

I did not have anything to offer in the final and to be honest David was just too good.

If I play to my best form, I could beat anyone. I dream to win this tournament, although it is difficult in front of a Romanian public who expect a victory.

Without the support of the crowd today I would have been the victim, ... He played unbelievably well and I was under so much pressure.

I think that tiebreak was the key of the match. After that he got a little bit tired. I think somehow his body, you know, I think that he eat something wrong. Normally, Andy's not the guy to have cramps or something like this, so I don't know what happened.

That topspin lob was the key to the match. That was my chance there.
