Geneva, Switzerland
Q. With this crowed, did you ever imagine you would see, feel, and experience so much on so many levels of passion and excitement here?
ROGER FEDERER: I was hoping that it was going to be like this. They didn't disappoint me.
Merci Genève. Thank you.
Q. Today you really needed their support. What was going through your mind when you were serving to stay in this match?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I don't know. It was a bit of a lull in that second set. I was really close in the first set. It was tough to lose.
I could feel it, but I needed to get some energy going, but you can't do that if you don't play good shots, and Nick was playing very well.
I was just trying to stay focused and stay with Nick. I knew like with what John Isner did, it maybe look like you're down, but if you can turn the momentum, the crowd gets back into it. You guys did. I need some ear plugs next time (smiling).
It was just phenomenal. Thank you very much for pushing me over the line.
Q. I know that this crowd love you. You love this crowd. Would you like to say a few words to them in French?
ROGER FEDERER: I don't know how many speak French here in this part of the world?
I'm kidding (smiling).
(Speaking in French to the crowd.)
