WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Zverev
“Winning two Masters 1000 titles in the same year is something amazing… I played well winning Washington and here. It's something amazing, back-to-back weeks. I feel great. I feel like I'm playing some of the best tennis of my life.”

“I feel like I'm playing the right tennis, well enough tennis to be there… I don't feel like things are going unnatural. I think everything is going pretty natural. Obviously winning the two Masters 1000 events, everybody would be proud of that, and nobody could expect it. But I'm happy that it happened.”

Federer
“It is a positive week in the end… The final was unexpected. But it's keeping up with the good results of this year. Playing the final was a good thing. Of course, I'm disappointed with today. I thought I would do better. I wanted to fight a bit more and make the match a bit more tighter. I had opportunities. But Zverev played extremely well. He played well all week.”

Herbert
“It was a hard match against a really good team… We managed to win the first, they played really well in the second and we had a good level in the Match Tie-break.”

Mahut
“We had four tough matches… After having a few months without winning too much, it's good to come back in the [Emirates ATP Doubles] Race to London.”
