WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Gulbis: “Everything what I do now is first time for my country. Of course it’s great. I hope it’s positive. I hope much more players will start to practise in Latvia. It’s good for tennis in Latvia. They see that a guy from Latvia also can make it and win an ATP World Tour event.”

“I felt comfortable. I like being in the final. I felt nobody’s giving me pressure. If I’m not putting pressure on myself, then it’s fine. I was relaxed. My coach told me before the match, ‘Just go on court. Enjoy, it’s your first final. You’re a young guy. Enjoy it, play good tennis.’”

“It was really windy today; it was tough wind. I think he couldn’t get really good timing for the serve. He wasn’t hitting so many first serves in. I knew what I had to do against him.”

Karlovic: “He was playing really good. Everything that he hit was in. As good as I was playing yesterday, this is how he was playing today.”

“He was very cool, calm. Nothing could impress him. This year is going to be his breakthrough.”

“I was playing well all week. Today it was a little bit worse. This is life. Sometimes you play good, sometimes you play not so good. What is important is I’m healthy and overall I was playing well all this year. Next week is Davis Cup, after Indian Wells, so I will look forward to that.”

Mike Bryan: “It’s pretty cool to be on our own (at No. 2 on the list of all-time doubles titles leaders). I’m sure they’re not going to get any easier. You feel a little more extra pressure because now everyone’s talking about it, we’re even thinking about it now. We’re in this final, we see this on paper, it’s a pretty good matchup for us ranking-wise, it’s just a good shot at a title. We want to break [the record].”

“We’re going to try not to worry about it. We have goals to be No. 1, and to be No. 1 you have to win titles.”
