What They Say

Ernests Gulbis: "It's the biggest win of my career. Sorry I had to win. I know how everyone likes Roger. It was a tough match but this is sport. I've been playing very well in France. I won tournaments in Marseille and Nice, hopefully Paris is the next one. For my confidence and just for me as a tennis player, a five-set win over Roger Federer, it's really big. Hopefully it's going to change me that I become more confident about myself, you know, on a tennis court."
