Rafael Nadal, after winning the U.S. Open over Novak Djokovic to complete the career Slam: "For me, it's a dream [to] have the career Grand Slam, but this is more dream [to] have the US Open.
"I think for the first time in my career I played a very, very good match in this tournament. That's my feeling, no? I played my best match in the U.S. Open at the most important moment.
"I think I improved my tennis a little bit but is not a radical change, no? Sure, to win in here in the U.S. Open I think is the more difficult tournament for me to play, more difficult conditions to adapt, to adjust my game on this court, for the balls, for the court, for everything.
"I think is talk about if I am better or worse than Roger is stupid, because the titles say he's much better than me, so that's the truth at that moment.
"For me the most important thing is try to keep serving like I did during this tournament. If I can do it, this most of the time is gonna be a big change for me and my career, because if I have that free points that I had during all this tournament it's gonna be different for me. I can play more aggressive. I can play with more calm when I am returning. So it can change a lot."
