When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.

I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn't stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.

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.

What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn't get more consistent than this year.

I have learnt to be even more patient.

Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.

But so far I have the feeling that the chances are there to repeat last year's season.

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 can't stay No. 1 for fifty years, you know. We'll see what happens.

I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don't dislike it.

We can't always agree on everything.

You know, I don't only play for the record books.

My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.

Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation. It's a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents.

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 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 had set a goal with my team to try and get back to the top of the rankings, but I never thought with the depth in the game this year that I would have been able to get it back so quickly.

I used to get nervous, you know if my parents would come watch. And then I would get nervous if my friends came and watched. Today it's not a problem anymore actually, because now I enjoy it. I see that they, you know, respect me immensely, and I try to put on a good show and show that I can still play very good tennis.

The serve, I think, is the most difficult, you know, in terms of coordination, because you got the two arms going, and you got to toss it up at the right time so.
