It's constant pressure, ... When it's over, it's kind of a surprise. You can't expect to win all the time. If it keeps on going, it's incredible.
Usually early on I'm looking for my rhythm. Today it was there straight away. It's a good sign, a good feeling.
I am extremely proud and honoured to have beaten Pete's record as he was my childhood hero and I have always looked up to him.
I'm a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
This year I guess I decided in the bigger matches to take it more to my opponent instead of waiting a bit more for the mistakes. Yeah, this is I guess how you want to win Wimbledon, is by going after your shots, believing you can do it, and that's what I was able to do today.
That's why I'm No. 1, you know, ... There's no secret.
This is how it will be in every match at the Open. I'm ready for the pressure, ... It's a good feeling that I have. The players, I know them all, I've beaten them all.
Just stay with him, for the entire time. I have the feeling that other guys tend not to take the physical challenge with him. That's what I won't do.
I was little bit surprised, ... I don't play much in the morning anymore.
He didn't grow that much, ... but he's still doing a great job.
He is good enough to beat me on a day when I am not on, ... I expect a tough match.
That doesn't happen very often going into slams,
I guess the important moments, key moments of the match, I guess I was just superior to him. There was not much in it.
but I'm not going to look for them.
