"I know he’d like to win the first [Grand Slam title] for British tennis in, what is it, 150,000 years?" Federer said, "… not winning the first one doesn’t help second time around. Plus he’s playing, you know, me, someone who’s won many Grand Slams... I think he really needs it more than I do. I think the pressure’s big on him. We’ll see how he’s going to handle it. It’s not going to be easy for him, that’s for sure."

‎"I've been very successful over the years. Probably won most titles indoors, maybe more than all the other guys combined," said Federer, who called it a natural surface for him. "But that doesn't make me the best this week."

"I’m playing much better than I thought I would — other guys are in their prime right now, and I’m world No. 1, so I guess I did some things right."

"A record break -- always something special when that happens," Federer said.

"Obviously, you know, I have a big repertoire of shots, so I always find my way into somebody's game, especially ranked that low," the confident undisputed world No.1 told reporters.
