Q. I think after two hours and twenty minutes of a women's match, most of us were thinking we would be here until...

ROGER FEDERER: 5:00 in the morning?

Q. Yeah. That was pretty impressive. How do you think you played tonight?

ROGER FEDERER: I'm very happy, of course. Things went much better than I expected.
No, I mean, things were great for me.
I was really happy the way I came out and played.
I kind of felt good from the start.
The longer the match went the more he struggled
and the better I got.

Yeah, the difference was big in the end.
So is was so surprising the way to have that kind of a score in the quarters of a Slam,
especially having so many great players around at this stage of the competition.

Q. When was the last time you felt that good on the court?

ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, doesn't happen very often.
It's nice that it happens sometimes against the best players out there.
I guess it's kind of what happens sometimes.
You always play better against the better‑ranked players
because they push you more and you push yourself more.
It's a cleaner ball. A ball you're more used to.

Juan Martin, he hits heavy off both sides.
He's up and coming and dangerous.
I've always played well against him every time we've played.
Today was no exception.
I thought it was going to be a tough match in the beginning.
We had some tough rallies, and it really showed the direction of the match,
I thought. I was very mistaken. I'm happy about that.

Q. Does that help for you to play a match like that after a tough last match?

ROGER FEDERER: Sure, I prefer these kind of matches.
Just they're more healthy. I mean, the other ones are nerve‑wracking,
and you come out and you're exhausted,
just mentally and physically a bit drained.
I kind didn't pull up sore in any way from the five‑setter,
which is a great thing. It means I'm fit
and it means I'm in much better shape than I was last year.

That's exactly how I was kind of hoping to feel.
Today, no pain whatsoever. I came out and played great.
All I needed was a good start
after really messing up my start against Berdych.

Q. In a way, did you feel sorry for Juan Martin in the end?

ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, like the last couple games are not that much fun,
let's put it that way.
You want to almost put him out of his misery
because you know how tough it is for him to come back.

He's trying shots he shouldn't be trying.
He's accepting defeat the last few games.
It's tough. You continue doing your thing on your serve.
You try to serve well and mix it up.
I was able to come up with some solid tennis,
and I was able to pull it all the way through.
I had to focus. I think I played well until the end.

Q. You've said on court that people haven't given enough credit to Andy,
but you always have. He's lost some weight
and he's moving better on the court.
You've always upped your level against him.
How is that going affect your game plan?

ROGER FEDERER: We'll see. We have played many times, which is nice as well.
You go out there and you know what's going to happen on the big points.
Just a matter of who's going to play better on the day.
I mean, look, seems like he's playing well.
That's always obviously dangerous.

On top of that, I think he beat me last time we played.
Maybe now he's in better shape.
I should have no chance. It's a tennis match.
You never know what is going to happen.
That's why it starts at 0‑0.

I'm excited playing Andy. I'm happy for him.
He's doing well here again.
Like I said, always sometimes people expect him to win 25 Grand Slams,
and he's one of my generation who was able to stay at this level
for, what is it five, six years now?

Maybe even more, because he came up in 2003
and won there. So he's already been up there for a long time
and never really fell out of the Top 15.

Q. Top 10 for seven years.

ROGER FEDERER: There you go. That's rock solid.
That's why I'm excited to play against him
and seeing him create an upset in a big tournament.
That's what's kind of been missing for him in the big tournaments lately.
