They were so cute. I get really relaxed( but the) nail was really sharp so it was hurting, otherwise it was really fun, actually, outside is really changing around me. It's really different. A lot of media stuff, especially in Japan. I feel more attention.

For me it (the Olympics) will be the biggest event of the year.

I'm sure that I have to play good tennis to beat Roger, because he's the best player on the grass, i'm happy to be playing Roger now because I think I'm in good shape now. I know it's not going to be easy but I will enjoy it for sure.

He definitely raised his level (in the) second and third sets. He wasn't missing much like in the first set. He served well in the end, maybe I didn't play quite my best today. Credit to him today.

I'm trying to keep my head up, claycourt season is coming. It's a completely new season. I'll try to have good practice, two more weeks, and be ready for Monte Carlo.

It's never easy playing Benoit. He has a great serve and a great backhand, i think the key was the longest game at 2-1 in the first set. I was able to get the game. I was more confident. If he broke back, anything could have happened. It was a good match.

Luckily I (won the) first set and after that I was more confident.

My opponent is a great grass court player so I had difficulty reacting to his serves but it was good I managed to win in four sets. I'm glad I'm back and healthy.

It was a shame to lose but this was my first time final here in Toronto, so, it was a great week.

The first set I played really good tennis. I had some tough times, but this score shows I was dominating a little bit, i'm still not 100 percent yet, but feeling pretty strong. We'll have to see after a couple of more matches, but right now I feel good.

I was close in Madrid, but today I was dominating everything, i definitely needed to change some of my tactics when playing against Rafa. I had to play 100 percent to beat him.

( Nadal) was n’t making many first serves tonight, so I knew I had to be more aggressive on the second serve, everything was working well, so I am very happy to win today.

I defend the final in the U.S. Open, so I will try to keep it going, i ’m playing well and I ’m looking forward to keeping it going at the U.S. Open.

I had to make some changes, he was playing very well at the start. I raised my game in the second set.

Hopefully, I can get some revenge against Marin, i’ve been playing good here and hopefully I can come up with another good one in the semis tomorrow.

Obviously number five is a different feeling than outside of the top 10 because you still feel a lot of confidence, but you feel other things off the court, i think I feel more pressure than before. I try not to think too much. But you obviously feel a little bit. It's still not comfortable for me to be this ranking.

Yeah,( I'm) disappointed because I think they really had a chance of winning the whole thing. So really sad to see, i hope tennis gets bigger in Japan, Asia. But I love soccer. So I hope lot of kids start playing soccer, too.

I think I am doing really well, i think these first couple of tournaments of the year are very important for me to gain little more confidence.
