And here we stand in thefinals. You know, I am happy…I am happy for you. Iwould have been happy to lose to you. To be honest, the comeback was perfect as it was, so…Iam…
Tennis…tennis is a tough sport. There is no draws. But if there was going to be one, I wouldhave been very happy to accept the draw tonight and share it with Rafa. Really!
I know everybody…everybody says they work very hard – I did the same – I try really not toshout about it because…because some serious legends and toughest guys in the game like Rafahere tonight. So…
But I'd just like to thank my team, because it's been a…it's been a different last six months.Let's be honest. I didn't…I wasn't sure we're going to make it here, but here I am. And wemade so. I just like to thank you guys, thank you.
