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.
The nicer the point, the more -- the better I feel, the more excited I get. But I never play that my opponent looks stupid. I think that is wrong. I have too much respect for every opponent I play.
I have a great record against anybody right now, so it doesn't really matter who I play in the final. I'll be in there as the big favorite. But I play my best in the finals, in the important matches. That's why I'm number one. There's no secret...I'm not overconfident, but very confident.
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.
You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.
I let the evening unfold. I'm the sort of guy who likes to sit in the chair and look at the wine glass.
I have a very strong opinion. I'm absolutely against it. I'm against the challenge system. I'm for the way it is right now. Don't change that.
With all the injury problems we have in men's tennis at the moment, I'm happy to still be standing.
I'm at the top of my game so, when I win or lose, I don't freak out...I don't think we can call it a rivalry yet. There's just to many great players around.
I have learnt to be even more patient.
I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don't dislike it.
I'm playing great tennis. I'm enjoying the tour, having fun with the fans off the court. I'm loving it now.
In the locker room I was getting impatient to get on the court, I had to warm up several times.
Maybe further down the road in my career, in a couple of years when I'm maybe not that fast any more around the court, then maybe it would be good to come to the net a little bit more often
