What a quality at the end of the match when you had to serve it out. You can up with some big plays in the big situation and you absolutely deserve it. Amazing. "I thought I would have trouble with you only on clay and hard court, but not on grass but now it's a different story from this year obviously. "Congrats, amazing way to adapt to the surface. You played maybe one or twice. Amazing, what you did in Queens and congratulations to everybody in your team. "As for me, you never like to lose matches like these but I guess when all the emotions are settled I'll have to be very grateful. "I won many tight and close matches in the past here, to name a few. 2019 against Roger. Maybe I should have lost a few finals that I won so maybe this is even stevens." Having received his runners-up trophy from Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, Djokovic was applauded by his wife Jelena and two of his children. It was a wild match in which Djokovic struggled to keep his temper in check, with the 23-time Grand Slam winner smashing his racket against the net at one point .
