An interview with Roger Federer (Federer-Safin 6-3 7-6 6-4)
Q. You seemed to be very relaxed and confident. At 2�All in the third set you hit one shot under the leg, another one behind the back. Is that what you really felt at that moment?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, I was winning my service games pretty comfortably, you know, except at one stage in I think in the second set maybe it was.
But I was playing well. You know, I was feeling good out there on the court. It was perfect conditions to play. I was playing a good and tough match.
I'm always very, you know, relaxed, so today was no different really.
Q. Now that you're here in the final, how would you describe your whole route to get to this point?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, pretty simple: I mean, I haven't had many problems whatsoever throughout The Championships. It's been, you know, a perfect way to the finals, but there's one more left. You know, I need to win to get it.
But so far it's been quite unbelievable, actually.
Q. Assuming it is Rafael Nadal in the final, what do you think the match could turn out to be after that incredible last year?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, big question mark. You know, I think we always hope that we can live up to the expectations, you know, because by now we've had so many sort of good matches against each other. It's hard to live up to them all the time.
So Paris was sort of a disappointment,you know, in terms of living up to the expectations. But that happens sometimes. You know, for me it's obviously important to sort of bounce back from that loss.
You know, even though I'm not going to draw anything out of that match because Rafa plays so different on clay and grass. He plays so much closer to the baseline that I have to draw from my two previous Wimbledon finals.
So we'll see what happens.
Q. Knowing you are a tennis expert, you like to do trivia tennis questions to your colleagues sometime, do you know anything about William Renshaw, the fact he won six times here in a row?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah.
Q. Have you ever thought to play doubles one day with Rafael Nadal just for fun?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, he asked me a couple years ago in I think Madrid or whatever it was. Well, it's obviously intriguing, the same as I would love to play maybe with Roddick. Because I've played with Hewitt in the past; I've played with Safin in the past. I never played with those two guys.
It would be something I would consider doing, you know. But playing so little doubles these days, when I play, I want to play with my friend, Yves or Stan or something like that. That's why it's sort of hard. Maybe it will happen.
