"In the third set, again, lots of chances early on. 4-All, that breakpoint, 30-40, long, long point, relatively easy forehand missed. Lost a little bit of breath there and energy really to go through that shot," the Serb said.

I think, very exciting tennis I think for the crowd, for us. We pushed each other to the limit. I think it was just necessary to decide this match in the last moment, you know, in the last shot, last point, because it was really anybody's game. If he would win, he would deserve to win this match," he added.

To play one of the best players in the world at this stage, it means a lot to me because, again, at this stage of my career, to keep pushing myself, keep motivating myself, keep believing that I can win these matches, it means a lot mentally, emotionally for me, more than anything, really, because I need to also make a statement that I'm still there with the young guys, that I'm able to compete with them and win such tight matches," the 35-year-old said.
