I never expected i, in the first place, when I started playing tennis, that I would ever carry the flag into the Olympic Stadium for an Olympic Games... So for me that was a surprise and a huge honor in my life to be able to represent Switzerland.

For me, I'm in the driver's seat; I'm No. 1 in the world. I've won the last couple of meetings, and I've won the big tournaments lately. Whoever comes, I'll try to beat him. But it's almost up to me to decide who's my rival, isn't it?

I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don't dislike it.

Winning or losing, it's always something special and something you'll remember, even more so when the match was as dramatic as it was today. It's even more memorable when I see my kids there with my wife and everything. That's what touched me the most, to be quite honest. The disappointment of the match itself went pretty quickly.

I'm playing great tennis. I'm enjoying the tour, having fun with the fans off the court. I'm loving it now.

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

Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that's when you start playing your best.
