I think he's the best I've played against. But I also think the accomplishment of winning that many Slams requires a number of things, including a little bit of luck to make sure you're healthy, nothing goes wrong.
It's been a long time since I've felt good on the court. It's just getting tiring, that's all. It never feels good when you're losing often. You know, to have a few good wins and have a good tournament would help me, remind me right now why I'm doing this. But as of right now it's hard to feel that thrilled about it.
I'm not going to have a lot of winners against a guy like Roger. My goal is to get a lot of errors out of him because of the breezy conditions. I wanted to control the point, but not get too risky.

It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.
Now that I've won a slam, I know something very few people on earth are permitted to know. A win doesn't feel as good as a loss feels bad, and the good feeling doesn't last long as the bad. Not even close.
I always felt tennis and winning was a byproduct of doing everything right.
If I don't do what I need to do to win, I won't win, no matter who is on the other side of the net.
