There's not too many people that have been actually able to beat him the last two years or so,

There are people who love you and people who hate you, but for me, more so, people only think they know me by how I act or perform on a tennis court.

I'm more in that Rafa Nadal high-energy high-octane mold out there. I wear that emotion on the court. That's how I play my best tennis. People either like that or not. And I can't change that: that's who I am on a tennis court.

It's nice to be through to another semifinal, another tough match, ... Every match gets tougher.

Nine times out of 10, if you're going to win the tournament, you're going to have to come up against Federer at some stage, ... It's not something you focus on. ... I just want to get the (next) win on the board.

He was just bunting the serve back, waiting for a short ball to pounce on and I got the perfect reply that I wanted, ... If I had served better it would have given me more opportunities to mix it up a lot more.
