He's a player that doesn't have many weaknesses at all. But he is human. He lost two weeks ago to Rune in the [Rolex Paris Masters] final. It's not like he plays these finals every day of his career, in his life. I'm sure he will also feel a little bit of pressure. There's a lot on the line.
He's played a little bit more tennis than I have. I don't know if he will feel tired — probably not. But this is the perfect way for me to go into the final. I hope I can save some of this great tennis for tomorrow and see what happens.
I think when the draw was made here, I guess I was the least favourite to reach the final; I think I can say for sure, compared to all the other great players who I consider are maybe better hard-court indoor players than myself. There are small margins in this sport. I've been able to come through, fight through, be in the final, so I'm very happy about it.
