“It’s very special. When I won here [in 2007] it was my first hard court title and to win it for a second time four years later is special because it’s more difficult now with the pressure and expectation. I like a lot to play the second week of the season here; I like the tournament a lot, the people support me a lot.

“Of course I am with confidence after winning a tournament; the next tournament I will go in with confidence in my game and my mentality.

“I think David did not have a good day. He played a little bit badly in the second set. Maybe it was the key in the first set at 3-3 when I went a break up and won the set. He lost concentration. I thought I played very consistently and I did my job.”

Hobart

“It’s always good to win the tournament. I mean, you never know if you’re going to win more after, so I enjoy it every time. It’s nice also for me to win here, to win some different tournaments. It’s a tournament I like to play.

“In tennis it’s always a matter of confidence. I could see tonight I was playing very nice tennis, but I played some bad games at the beginning of the second set. I wasn’t doing it two years ago. I think it will come back with the match and with the victory. So that’s why it’s very good to win here.

“We were playing very nice tennis from the baseline, and it was a real fight. I’m just happy to win it, because Viktor is playing better and better week after week. That’s very good for me to be feeling now, because I know that he’s playing good and I know that I’m able to defeat him even when he’s playing good. So it’s good for my confidence.”
