You don't simply tell someone to get out there and win the tennis match. You say 'move your feet' or 'watch the fuzz on the ball' to really get into the Zen of it. You pull all that together, and then you just might hold up the Wimbledon Plate... It's not about winning first place but bringing every element of effort to whatever you do.

For me, Wimbledon is such a special tournament. I feel at home when I play there, and the grass is perfect.

The first rounds of a tournament are always tricky because playing tennis takes a lot out of you.

It's always difficult, especially the U.S. Open, the last of the Grand Slams. It's always tough because you know, the season is very long. I really played a lot this year. Sometimes it's really hard to stay focused all the time because you're really tired after the whole season.

Not winning at Wimbledon is not going to bother me forever.

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.

I enjoyed seven years at Wimbledon and there were high and low points.

I am glad that Wimbledon is my last slam. I love the atmosphere and courts of SW19, and it is an addiction, which I will find tough to give up.

Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be.

To cry on court during a Wimbledon final, you must feel so lonely.
