I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.
I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.
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.
There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.
I always believe if you're stuck in a hole and maybe things aren't going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.
I've really proved that on all surfaces, everywhere in the world, I can win the title. It's been incredible for me from beginning to end.
Rafael played a great match, it was tough to lose.
I was playing so well that it was hard to keep it up. I did not finish off some points I should have.
I was very focussed on this match, very concentrated.
I was the guy making all the errors and he was not. He was playing a few good shots. I had a few sloppy points here and there. He made me doubt.
Well, I'm not overconfident. I just know what I have to do ... I think extremely well in finals, and on big points usually I'm ... well, I've been unbeatable.
I am now the Wimbledon champion, and I think that gives me even more confidence coming to the Olympics. And maybe in some ways, it maybe takes some pressure off the Olympics, because I already did win at Wimbledon this year.
I can't look too far down the line,
I enjoyed the battle against him. I have answered some questions I had about how to play on clay.
