Arnaud Clement Quotations

We both have very physical games and it is tight each time. I'm delighted that it swung my way.

I feel frustrated. I felt physically stronger than him.

I wasn't far from my best tennis today. I'm happy with how aggressive I was and it's great to be in the semifinals here.

I was not far from my best tennis today. I'm really happy with my win and with the way I got it.

We don't want to lose a third time to Russia.

It was a very embarrassing match for both of us after what we achieved in Germany. It was no fun to take on Richard today.

It's an amazing feeling. It's the best I've played in a long, long time. I really felt comfortable out there on the court and I had a game plan which I stuck to very well throughout the match. Even if I had lost today, I would have been happy as I was disciplined out there and stuck to my game plan well.

I knew I had my chances this week, but with the strength of the draw here this year, if someone told me I would win this tournament this week, I wouldn't really have believed them. It's an amazing feeling to win here in front of my family and friends.
