I'm shocked every time that I've reached so many finals or won against so many players or whatever record it is. It strikes me and makes me obviously very happy and very proud that I've been able to do it for so many years at the highest of levels.

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

I have two lives, and all the problems I might have, I feel like I drop them once I step on to the match court.

The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that's the beauty of it.

I have a great record against anybody right now, so it doesn't really matter who I play in the final. I'll be in there as the big favorite. But I play my best in the finals, in the important matches. That's why I'm number one. There's no secret...I'm not overconfident, but very confident.

I was aware of how incredible the match was. Unfortunately there had to be a winner. From my point of view many left feeling sorry for me instead of being happy for Rafa. Which hurts.

Once you reach a good level in tennis it fills you with a lot of motivation. I hope I can do it for a long time.
