Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, defeated Rafael Nadal 7-5, 6-3, 6-1:

(Q. I guess you went through many emotions through this match that you have dominated from start to finish.)

"It's not easy to sometimes execute the plan that you prepared before the match. But I managed to do that. Had a very strong start. Except, the second part of the first set and first part of the second, the entire match went really well for me. It's definitely a big win, a match that I will remember for a long time."

SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, defeated Rafael Nadal 7-5, 6-3, 6-1:

(Q. It's Murray next. He's undefeated on clay this year. You're undefeated on clay this year. Can you talk about him, the match, and also about what he's improved? You haven't played him on clay this year, but what he's done to make that improvement on clay this year.)

"The furthest he got in Roland Garros was semi-finals, and I think he played last year semis against Rafa, so I'm sure that he's very motivated to get at least one step further. Semi-finals of Grand Slam, playing one of the biggest rivals and the guy I have known for a long time, and I'm sure both of us will get on the court with the intention of winning. I know his game. I'm going to try to prepare myself well."
