"I mean, I fought hard, you know. I mean, I think I played well. I'm happy with where my game's at. I wish my serve would have been better, but that's something that sometimes is a bit, you know, day‑form issue, you know. But, look, I mean, I love this game. It means the world to me, so it hurts when you lose."
"You can't go through your whole life as a tennis player taking every victory, you know, that's out there. You've got to live with those, you know. But they hurt even more so like if you're that close, you know, like at Wimbledon or like here at the Australian Open."
"It's more like, you know, in the first moment you're disappointed, you're shocked, you're sad, you know, then all of a sudden it overwhelms you. The problem is you can't go in the locker room and just take it easy and take a cold shower. You can't. You know, you're stuck out there. It's the worst feeling, you know.
So, I don't know, it's rough."
Q. Do you believe you still can beat him?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, for sure. I didn't spend four and a half hours out there believing it.
