I’m happy with my performance. My movements were good, considering it was the first match of the season.

I’m really happy to be back in the finals, this is what my hope was at the beginning of the tournament.

I thought she might crack the top 30 at the end of the year. Here we are probably thinking she has a shot at winning a Slam. It’s quite incredible.

I have mixed feelings. I could have played much better, but I came through in the end. I hope things will improve.

I really feel I’ve got my confidence back. My footwork is back, the eye is back — watching the ball, reading the game. Definitely I’m feeling really good right now.

I can’t look too far down the line,

You know, I don’t only play for the record books.

It was a big relief for me to come through in the tiebreaker. I’m feeling like I’m getting more feeling for the courts. I’m seeing everything they have to offer. The court today was quicker...

But I grew a bit and got stronger, and then things changed. But it is great to see him on the tour and he does an incredible job at his short height to play with...

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

I’m not surprised he’s in the final as he’s a good grass court player,

That’s fantastic, … Tying your idols — isn’t that great? It’s every boy’s dream and I made it come true today in a memorable final.

This is magnificent — it’s been a very special weekend. It’s been a long time since I played in Switzerland and it gives me a lot of pleasure to play in front of my home...

He was more difficult than I expected. I’ve never saw him play before, and I expected more rallies, but he served and volleyed a lot. It was hard for me coming from clay at Davis...

I had to work hard to get to this point. There are tough challengers, but not this week. I’m amazed with myself, and hopefully I’ll keep doing this in the future.

I was just trying to make it harder for him to win. I wasn’t even trying to win anymore in the end.

I definitely feel that if I keep on playing this way I am not losing too much energy out on the court.

He had been returning so well. Credit to him. He really didn’t allow me to play my game. But he may have got a little bit tired, maybe disappointed that he didn’t win the second...

It’s going to affect me almost the most. It’s going to be interesting to see because I’ll play many players who maybe played it for the first time. If that’s fair, I don’t know.

That match taught me what some things about how I should play against him. But I’ve still got to go out there and beat him.

I have a great record against anybody, basically, right now. So it doesn’t really matter who I play in the finals; I’ll be in there as the big favorite.

I’m a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.

Obviously, matches and all that stuff takes its toll on your body and so forth. But as you get sort of a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit more experienced, you know also...

It was more of giving him a taste of what he had given me.

You can’t be ready to win in straight sets, otherwise you’re badly prepared. I always expect a tough one and this one was. I never got my game going, and once you’re down a set,...

This is very nice, to have such a close match and come through it and show once again that I really belong to the No. 1 position and deserve all these trophies I win.

I came back from dinner and I thought, ‘It’s looking good for James,’ and suddenly it turned around, … What a thriller. I was up until 1:30 myself. Maybe it wasn’t the best preparation, but...

We have more chance to win on clay than other surfaces when (British player) Greg Rusedski might be a little more dangerous. So I hope to take him a little more out of play with...

I came here with huge expectations … Sampras was one of my favorite players of all time, and Borg, to be in that group is very special. I hope it’s not going to stop at...

For me, it is a dream come true. Finally, I won a title in Switzerland after four times in the final. I never though I would win this tournament. There was a lot of talk...

I didn’t think I played that badly. I played a pretty good first set.

Of course, Shanghai gave me a lot of confidence. I feel I’m still playing 2005 season.

It was nice to have time off. It made time to rest and get ready. Hopefully I will be. I have had some fantastic results on hard courts. Hopefully I can keep it up.

There were tough conditions and I handled them well.

on a beach somewhere.

who forced everybody in the event to “step it up or be left behind.

Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they’re completely dependent on you and there’s a third generation. It’s a...

I had to fight against a momentum shift to him. It could have suddenly become a really dangerous match for me. I’m happy to come through in two sets. In the end I had to...

That was a very tough final today, … Andy will become a good player. I am sure of that. This time he had to face the No.1 in the world, but it is great experience...

Played him here last year and it was much tougher. So this was an excellent match for me, maybe the best of the season. I’ve had some good matches this year, too, but this was...

At the baseline I didn’t have the feeling I was in any rush at all. That’s a good feeling to have from the start of a tournament. That doesn’t happen very often going into Slams....

I don’t think we can afford to change our games just because of a particular opponent you play,

It’s a process, … I have many milestones.

I was more aggressive today than in past matches against him.

Today was my best match so far,

I arrived here this week basically on one leg,

It’s never really easy. As long as I win, I’m happy — it was a good start.

I expect him to play a good match. I just have to make sure my performance is good and make it as hard as possible for him to win.

He’s playing excellent. It’s going to give him great motivation now that he’s in the top 10. There may be great times ahead for James.

I never underestimate my opponent, that’s not the way I play. It is never easy when you are playing your first match (of the season) on clay. I had a few sloppy points here and...
