Andy Murray on reaching his first French Open final

“It’s obviously a very big match for both of us. I mean, Novak trying to win the career slam it’s obviously a huge match for him, and me trying to win my first French Open, as well. You know, neither of us know how many more chances we’ll have to win here. It took obviously Roger a long time to win this one. And Novak, too. It’s a very tough event to win. There is a lot riding on the match for both of us. Like I said, I hope we can both play a good match.”

That match was definitely one of those that was kind of needed and worth it. So I look forward to, you know, hopefully learning from that.”
