“It’s the biggest match of the week, and I’ve worked a long time to be back in a final,” Anderson said as quoted by the ATP website.
“It’s been quite some time for me [since my last final], so it means a lot. I am going to enjoy this win, and I hope to be ready for tomorrow.
US Open aim
But it also didn't only mean a lot in terms of making an ATP final, he has achieved his goal of qualifying for the US Open main draw which he seeked out with the wildcard.
“After Wimbledon I saw that I wasn’t going to be in the main draw [of the US Open], so I emailed the tournament [in Newport] and they were kind enough to give me a wild card.
"I knew I had to make the semis in order to reach the main draw, that was the first step. Now I hope that tomorrow I can go one step further”.
