This was another amazing match, really tough to play against Daniil, I lost to him in U.S. Open but today came back strongly on the fourth and fifth sets, the level was super high and it was a great atmosphere. It's amazing to keep playing here, I'm really happy to be able to continue to play at this level here and I'm looking forward to the quarter-final.

Clay is a neutraliser. It's good for everybody... Court Philippe-Chatrier's improved Court Philippe-Chatrier results on clay, so Court Philippe-Chatrier obviously is feeling good on the surface, a quarter-final of a slam is definitely a neutraliser. There's a lot of factors that go into that. ( I'm) just going to go out and execute and I'm sure Court Philippe-Chatrier'll do the same and we'll have a good match.
