I wish I could have been more consistent in the match, but today was tough, … I thought he played better than in the past.

He’s good enough with his base, you know, to beat me on a day when I’m not on. But the thing is, I’ve always been playing so well against him over the last few years...

I really have the feeling that every match I’m playing on the grass now I’m getting to focus just that extra bit every time I step out again so I’m really happy.

I had a lot of problems in the beginning but then I got into my stride.

They signed a three-year deal. I understand the big disappointment from the government, from the tournament, from the fans.

I enjoyed the battle. It’s interesting when we play each other and I expected it to be a tough match.

I think the way I’m playing right now is a good level and we’ll see if it’s going to be enough.

His chance came in the beginning of the second, he was up a break. The wind picked up, I thought this could be a little tricky one. But I got back quickly and finished it...

Every time I step on the court in a Masters series, I know how important they are and I try to do well.

This is how it will be in every match at the Open. I’m ready for the pressure, … It’s a good feeling that I have. The players, I know them all, I’ve beaten them all.

This year I guess I decided in the bigger matches to take it more to my opponent instead of waiting a bit more for the mistakes. Yeah, this is I guess how you want to...

When I think of the Olympics I only think of good things. I think of what a great event it is and what it has done for me and my career, and changed my personal...

That’s one step further than last year.

I’d just like to congratulate Roger, not just for a great match today but great tennis all week. You deserve to win this tournament, and it’s an inspiration to watch you move and play.

He’s a good player. It’s as simple as that. He’s a terrific scrambler and he brings something else game as a great lefthander.

At the beginning of the year, people were shocked when I lost a set,

I had to play my best match again in the tournament.

I’m very happy to qualify for the Masters Cup for the third time in succession,

I was in a good position overnight,

He was hanging tough on my service games and broke me at 6-4, 3-2, … I had to be careful not to let the momentum shift, and at the end I had to play some...

It was a fun match. I’m very happy I won. My opponent is a great friend of mine.

Today was my best match so far, … It went like I expected really. You know what you’re going to get with his game — baseliner, tough lefty. I tried to shorten the points early...

In the past two weeks, he’s improved incredibly.

I just played a real solid match. I started off really well, didn’t miss much. I didn’t give him much chance to get in the match, didn’t give him too many balls to hit.

But so far I have the feeling that the chances are there to repeat last year’s season.

I stick to what I always do, whether it’s a final or first-round match. I want to get the rhythm, see how the conditions are, adjust string tensions if I have to. Then I’m off.

I’ve always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that’s the way things are.

We talked this time, not purely about tennis. He was really what I expected – a great person, great man.

I’ve definitely shown that no matter what surface, I can beat the best … or I am the best,

I got his serve later on. I also thought he played pretty good under the circumstances against me.

I had been feeling all the momentum was on his side,

Once you’ve lived through all of that, you’re a changed player,

He got me a few times early in my career where he made me look like a little schoolboy. Now that I could turn it around, it’s fantastic.

I’m playing well and feeling good. I don’t know how much better I can play because the first two matches here have already been really good.

I definitely need confidence because I haven’t played in seven weeks, … My expectations are low. I just hope to play a good match.

I don’t feel like it is the beginning of a new season. There is hardly any break between seasons.

He played well even though maybe he was tired. He did not let me play the way I wanted and should have won the third set. When I saw the draw, I was a little...

He deserved to win today. He was more consistent and I sprayed a little bit at the end. I didn’t go for crazy but he really played better in the end.

He did a great job this week and came so very close, but he was a little bit unlucky in the end.

I was struggling in the beginning, obviously,

He sizzled me up with his slice and spins. It was a pleasure to play against him.

I’ve done so many interviews over the years in so many different languages. Radios. Papers. Magazines. There’s always another interview to do. It’s quite something, I have to say.

It’s fantastic to be able to show this small version of the trophy off to you all. But of course I want to have the big one in my hands again soon, because it’s a...

It was a fantastic match, … I didn’t come here well prepared because I just came from Davis Cup. But so far it’s been great results for me.

I’m hoping for something similar this year. I feel great. My 29th title and my 29th win on grass — that fits perfectly.

I like to play against guys who have beaten me, especially early in the career, try to get them back, … He was a tough opponent for me for a long, long time.

It could be crucial; I don’t know; I don’t think so,

I’ve worked long and hard to be in a place where I can come out here and enjoy a sport that’s been so good to me. To be able to put that into effect is...

I had a tough time breaking him up until the time he served for the set, which was obviously very important,

Winning the first gave me confidence. It was tough, but I think his level dropped a bit in the second. I played better on the big points, that made the difference.
