What They Say

Andy Murray: "I've played well on clay the last few weeks, that's for sure. This last match against Philipp could have been one of my best wins if I managed to close out the fourth set, because he's a very, very tough player. Hopefully I can keep improving, keep learning."

Fernando Verdasco: "My goal was to start at 200 per cent and try to at least keep the score level for a few games and then try to break him as soon as I can. So I think the match today went perfectly like I expected, and like I wanted it to be. I'm very happy. Now I will try to recover for tomorrow's match."
