WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID
Nadal: "I am happy that I won in Rome without losing a set against the best players in the world like [Tomas] Berdych and [David] Ferrer and [Novak] Djokovic. I will have this trophy in my bedroom. It is a dream. [I have] the confidence I am playing well and this comes when I play at the right level. Hopefully I will keep playing like this."
Djokovic: "He is always the favourite, even if I win against him seven times; he is the best player in the world on this surface. I think that the match today was quite close, even if he won in straight sets. If you don’t use the opportunities against Rafa he gets momentum. I made a lot of errors which should not happen when you play against Nadal. I will go to Paris with confidence and I played a great week."
