Tennis Podcast: Feliciano Lopez: ‘It’s The Best Week Of My Life’; Marin Cilic on being declared 2nd favourite for Wimbledon
The final Tennis Podcast from the Aegon Championships at The Queen’s Club features the men of the hour, live.
The champion Feliciano Lopez tells Catherine Whitaker and Gigi Salmon just what becoming the oldest man in the Open era means to him.
“It’s the best week of my life,” says Lopez. “Not only to win at Queen’s but to beat those players (Stan Wawrinka, Tomas Berdych, Grigor Dimitrov and Marin Cilic in the final). It makes it so special. I take a lot of pride in being the oldest champion in the Open era. It’s a dream for me. This tournament is so special, and outside of the four Slams this is the tournament I wanted most to win.”
After that, the vanquished Cilic joined the podcast to talk about the pain of losing 7-6 in the third after holding match point. In lighter moments, he revealed that his encouragement to himself during matches is to shout ‘Emperor’ in Croatian, that he didn’t mind Goran Ivanisevic calling him second favourite for the Wimbledon title - “So, there’s a (runner-up) plate waiting for me at least!” - and that he has now become a Tennis Podcast listener himself after Jonas Bjorkman appeared on it a couple of days ago.
Finally, doubles champions Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares join the show to tell the Tennis Podcast that they were fired up in the locker room watching the Lopez vs. Cilic final, who is most likely to lose their temper in partnership, and their history of title celebrations so far.
