"I'm very happy for everything," Nadal said. "Am I disappointed? Yes. But at the same time, I am happy because I did good semi-finals here. I tried my best all the tournament. He played better than me and he beat me."

"He has an incredible return of serve and some of the best hands in the business," McEnroe said while commentating on the match for an American TV network. "I have always believed he had the potential to go a very long way.
"At the start of the tournament, I said he was the fourth-best player in the world and now the rankings will back up the statement. Let's see if he can go higher -- I think he can."
