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 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.

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

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.

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

There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.

I had a nice dinner. I let the evening unfold, flow. I like to sit in a chair with a wine glass. When I woke up, I thought, 'Why didn't I go to bed at 11?' I came back at 3 and went to bed at 5.
