The body
I am indeed tired but I am also surprised how good I feel. I've come to know my body very well because I've been often in such situations.
I'm less exhausted than I've been before. I remember that there were days when I could barely get up from my bed.
On such days I pushed the off button and said: I'm not going to do anything for two weeks.
First I have to have a rest. Now I still feel fresh and it wouldn't be a problem to go skiing tomorrow.
The form trajectory
I've become stronger as the years go by. I played incredibly from 2004 till 2007 and maybe the best during practice in the end of 2007 before I got sick.
But sometimes there are days when you play as well as you always do but you don't win the most important points and miss the chance to win a trophy.
In 2008/2009 I didn't move optimally but this is already in the past. My backhand is where I wanted it to be, my forehand is back again too.
My forehand was suffering also because I didn't move well. Moreover I had to risk a lot because I wasn't that good on the defensive.
Now it's again much easier for me to play, my confidence is back again as well.
The environment
It was a big life lesson for me not to have had any management and a coach back in 2004 and 2005. Looking back what I did was crazy,
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But I learned a lot. We did everything on our own with Mirka and my parents.
I was challenged a lot both on and off the court. Now my life is much simpler, everything is in its place.
Seve (Luthi, the coach) also helps me so much. We were often discussing how I should practice so that I improve.
We have the same points of view and developed plans to come out from the deep.
The fact that we were successful was nice particularly for Seve. I believed in him also in the difficult times when many people said that I had to change something.
I said: believe me, I know that I am doing the right thing. And I was right. I won Paris, Wimbledon, I was on the USO final and now I won here. Always with Seve in my corner.
Besides he is my friend and the DC captain.
Murray and the Brits
I have never intended to influence Murray before the match. It's a pity if the English press would drive a wedge between him and me.
I felt such danger also at Wimbledon when they said: look what Federer wears.
Or in Dubai (2008 ) when I said that Murray could play more offensively, that all he did was awaiting.
That was a critic at the highest level, it was almost a compliment. But they used it in a different way.
However I understand that the 25 journalists who come to Australia should write something and then the whole world quotes it.
That's the extreme about the English press. Today I read again how great I managed with everything.
