It was good to close that one out, it was only getting tougher,
It was some of the best energy I ever felt -- I never heard a crowd that loud. I thought it was just perfect, actually.
It's a good feeling to be playing in an environment that you played so well in, and then to have a match that you've had before.
I've been thinking that for four years. You never know when it's your last go,
It would be great to win, but I have no interest in putting a nice little bow around my career and handing it over to anybody,
I've said before, I don't know how I'm going to go out, ... I know one thing, if I'm out there playing well and giving something back to the sport, it's going to be hard not to give it more.
This is what you work so hard for. This means as much to me as being in the finals.... There are few moments that can be this special.
There's a lot of people that could step up to help. Wimbledon being one, myself being another. I just don't think you should have a trophy unless you win it.
There's a sense of urgency on every point, on every shot. It's an incredible challenge. I certainly didn't have enough today.
There's always a bit of working out between each player to be done. He got off to a good start and I had to play well to close him out, it felt good to get through that way.
There's a lot to like about playing against someone you've known and played against a long time,
That stat alone is pretty crazy. You're talking about the best that are left in the tournament and he's winning that many times in a row.

That'll be a tough match, ... These are tough conditions ? quick courts, wind. He's a quick-court player. He uses the pace really well and moves the ball around. I'll have my hands full.
