“I've been winning a lot of matches this summer. I feel like this tournament here is where I'm really starting to put it all together. I've beaten three Top 10 guys in a row. For me to do that, I have been playing well, really in pretty much all facets of my game. There's definitely some stuff I can always improve on, but I do think I'm playing well.” - John Isner
“I had my chance to beat him in the second (set). Serving for the match, I made too many errors for these kind of matches. And then in the end, he was fighting all the time. I think he deserves to win in the third set, but I missed my chance in the second set, and I'm very disappointed for that." - Juan Martin Del Potro

Well, I mean, it's been a long time actually. Finally, it's there. I mean, I'm really happy for it because really it's not been but a few weeks, and I was already trying for it like more than two years. It was still far, and now finally, I'm able to do so. But, yeah, that's another goal which I made. And, again, just gives me extra energy to go more, go forward." - Tomas Berdych
I finished the match playing aggressive with the forehand, with the backhand, and it's great. I think I played a very good match this afternoon against a very difficult opponent who came to this match playing very well, and I have to be very, very happy about everything." - Rafael Nadal
