You can wake me up now - these last four weeks in America have been incredible.

Physically, I feel extremely well, perhaps fitter than ever.

When I was younger I used to have little aches and pains but they always disappeared, ... fling.

I think it's a compliment but, you know, I've got a tough match ahead of me, ... I'm not really thinking too much about being the favorite because I know what I have to do out there to win my matches.

I know from day one that people have been saying that (I am favorite),

It was tough, ... I gave everything I had on those match points and she just came up with better shots. I said from the third set on, 'Just go for it.' It worked.
