WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Stakhovsky: “I have no idea [why I have a perfect record in finals]. I'm really happy to keep the score this way, to be able to be the winner of this match today. As I believe everybody saw, it was really more playing on nerves. There were a lot of unforced errors. There were really a lot of good rallies, and I hope it was really enjoyable tennis we played. I have to say it definitely wasn't our best tennis from both of us. But we were trying as hard as we could. Definitely we were fighting for everything.

"It was really an exhausting week for me. A lot of three sets. A lot of tie-breaks. Just a lot of time on court. Just now I have to get myself together and get ready for the US Open. I'm really glad to win this title. It pushed me to another level again. But I just need to think forward again and get ready.”

Istomin: "I'm so happy to be in the final for the first time. I'm like little bit waiting for my first win. But also it's not [going to be] my last final. I hope soon in the future I can be the winner.

"For the US Open I feel like I'm in good form. I'll try do my best there. I don't have an easy draw... but I feel like I can play good, show the good tennis."

Lindstedt: “Since we started in March, we’ve had our ups and downs. It's tough getting started because both me and Horia, we have a pretty strong will, we like to see our tennis in a certain way. I think we're both learning to give up part of our own way of looking at tennis in order to help out each other. When we connect like that, play well, we're a very dangerous team. We play very aggressive and quick doubles."

Tecau: “I think it's two very important things: trust and confidence. We learned how to trust each other, how to be confident in each other's game. We practise well together and we managed to find a good relationship on court, like a good attitude and a good way to be on court. That made a big difference for us to play good matches and lose or win those tough matches."
