Roger Federer on court
"I'm happy for you. I would have been happy to lose tonight, to be honest. The comeback was perfect, as it was," he said in reference to Nadal.
"Tennis is a tough sport. There are no draws, but if there was one I would have been happy to have one tonight and share it with Rafa, really."
Nadal on court
"I fighted a lot … A great match. I think Roger (Federer) probably deserved it a little more than me.
"I'm just going to keep going. I feel that I'm back at as high level. I'm going to keep trying the whole season."
Rod Laver on court. Roger Federer will get another special moment with Australia's tennis icon.
