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

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.

At the baseline I didn't have the feeling I was in any rush at all. That's a good feeling to have from the start of a tournament. That doesn't happen very often going into Slams. I've always been looking for my rhythm early, and today it was there straightaway.

I'm happy. I haven't lost a set, I'm through to the fourth round once again. Everything is feeling good. I have no injuries. I'm a happy person, it's all good.
