When you're leading by so much, it can get a bit boring and you have to make sure you stay focused. It's almost like I didn't play a match; it went so fast, less than a two-hour training session. |
Wimbledon has taken a lot of pressure off my back, you know. I really started to feel that I should do better in Grand Slams. But then to end up winning it the way I did there really kind of just relieved me, big time. |

You know, two aces, I think that definitely calms you down straightaway. |
You sort of always have to weather the storm against him, ... He hits the ball with so much pace. |
