"I won three out of four. It's more than I could ask for, definitely. Sitting down here with this trophy and reflecting on what I have achieved, it's quite incredible," Djokovic explained.

The top seed said he knew Federer was going to come out playing aggressive tennis. "He was going to try to disrupt my rhythm...[and] put a lot of variety in his game: slice, chip and charge, come to the net, serve and volley, but I was ready for it. I was ready for the battle...we pushed each other to the limit, as we always do."
