I know it was a tough race today, but you deserved all the results you've achieved. Every time I fight you, it's an uphill battle for me. Congratulations and hopefully we'll meet again many times in the future. I want to thank my parents. You have done so much for me, and you trust me even more than I trust myself. And my brothers at home, you are the driving force for me to work hard, and your encouragement to me is far beyond your imagination. I would like to thank my team, it has been a great pleasure to be with all of you, each and every one of you has been really good. You don't just push me to improve, you make it all fun. I know sometimes I'm not the easiest person to get along with, and I can be too serious, but you remind me that there's so much more to life than tennis. That's what makes me better on the pitch. ”
