I was surprised about the first two sets because Ivan played different tactics compared to the other two matches he played when he won. But I expected him to play better and even though three match points went I knew it wasn't the end.

I played quite good. But he is so good on clay. It's his best surface. If we play on another surface, a faster court, my chances are much better.

I thought winning this would be the best perfect way to end the season and I made it.

I don't like his style. He serves one, two, three serves hard, and then he serves one like he's throwing it with his hand. He hits unbelievable winner from nowhere on the court and then sometimes he just misses an easy point. You never know what he plays. You are absolutely out of tempo.

To beat Federer, you have to play more than 100 per cent, ... That was a big moment in my career and it was also good for the confidence because I know I can beat the top guys.

Today required a lot of concentration because it only took a mental lapse for one or two shots and the set's over with.

I said to myself it would be nice if I could put my name on that list.

I was really surprised ... I played a long time indoors and now it's completely different, so I am very happy to win my first match.

I'm very happy because this was my first Masters final and my first win and it was such a great match, ... It's a great way to finish the year.
