It was little bit too late to come back in the second set. I was missing a lot on baseline, my serve was not there.

The first set was a bit tough because I hadn't played a match for six months. You are unable to decide where you have to move, when you have to go to the net, whether to put pressure or stay back. I was a bit lost and tense because I knew that I had a chance.

The injury wasn't serious. But unfortunately I stopped playing too late. After Wimbledon I was advised to stop for two or three months but I did not take the advice.

Roger [Federer], he brought tennis... one level higher. Normally he toys with everybody. With all respect to other players, he does whatever he wants on the court against them. It's incredible what kind of game he can play.

I think the crowd should get a video cassette of this match because it was a classic,

It was a very, very good match and I am happy to have won a five-setter.
