郑钦文：有点得意，就是我很少有得意的心情，但是这次拿到奥运会冠军，虽然说不想承认，这不太符合中国人谦虚的气质，但是内心真的有点得意，也有点骄傲，也有点无与伦比的开心。因为我是一个不太喜欢把表情表现到脸上的人，但大家可以看到这次奥运会其实我真的很多的情绪都外露了，包括我在赢下科贝尔那一场，不知道为什么就哭了。（然后呢）也包括那么多场倒地的瞬间，都足以证明了我对奥运会的热爱。（我）觉得这个金牌对我来说意味着一切。
记者：你觉得奥运会的金牌会是你一生当中最重要的金牌吗？
郑钦文：我觉得肯定是的，因为这不是我个人的，这是我为国家的荣誉而战，甚至我打破了历史，成为中国网球第一个拿到单打金牌的人，这是我小时候一直的梦想。然后我知道这一直以来是我爸的梦想，（然后）他从小就激励着我，（然后）终于可以骄傲自豪地跟他说：“老爸我这次终于光宗耀祖了一回，你终于可以好好地炫耀了。希望以后我打不好的时候，不要给我那么大压力，因为这块金牌代表着一切。”
