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.

You can be stubborn and successful or you can give it up a bit and change things around. For me it's important to have a bit of both.

No, I'm not (disappointed). There's no reason to be because I'm on an incredible run. You always expect a loss once in a while. So when it happens, why be disappointed if I win over 90% of my matches.

When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.

I'm not angry. As an athlete ... you should be open to criticism, and you're allowed to be criticized, because not everybody has the same opinion, not everybody likes the same players. The rankings are quite volatile: Today you're 'great,' tomorrow you're 'not,' but then you're 'great' again. It makes for great stories. Now, I always look at the long term and by doing that, obviously, I can stay calm through the storm.

Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.

The more I lose, the more they believe they can beat me. But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me.
