"It's been a wonderful day. I said to the guys I'm not sad, I'm happy. It feels like a celebration to me. It's exactly what I had hoped for."
Prior to the match, the Swiss Legend said he was excited and said teaming up with Nadal and Novak Djokovic is always wonderful.
"It's super-special playing with Rafa. It feels really different. Walking out on court and having the chance to play with the likes of Rafa or Novak in the past has been an amazing experience for me. To be able to do that one more time, I'm sure it's going to be wonderful."
