Q. In the last game you were crossing yourself after the break point. Did you actually say a prayer at that point?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yeah. I mean, yeah. I was trying to find every possible help and energy that I can. It paid off, I guess.
Q. Is there any part of you that feels a little bit sorry for Rafa? I mean, he keeps coming up against you in the final and he keeps losing.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, you know, I was in that position. I was in that position a couple years ago, you know, losing most of the semifinals and finals against him and Roger in Grand Slams so I know how it feels.
I really thought what I said sincerely on the court, is that unfortunately there had to only be one winner because we both gave it all. We both put 100% of our abilities on the court and played to the last moment.
Unfortunately there couldn't be two winners, but he definitely deserved to be a winner as well tonight. You know, I would be saying same thing if I'm sitting here as a loser.
Q. How much time do you take off now?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I don't know. I don't know. I have to sit down with the team, but I'm definitely gonna take off at least two weeks.
Q. You are on the road to a Grand Slam if you win Roland Garros. How important will be your preparation for the French Open?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Very important, you know. I'm prioritizing Grand Slams this year, as every year, and Olympic Games. I think that's one of my highest goals.
That doesn't mean of course that I'm not gonna prepare well and perform my best on the other tournaments. It's just that, you know, the Grand Slams matter the most.
So I want to do well and I want to get the first final at least in Paris, you know. I have never been in finals there, and I have a feeling that I'm ready this year to achieve that.
Q. Were you pleased when they gave you the chair in the ceremony?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Oh, yes, very pleased. I think we both were. We both respect and we are very much aware of the ceremonies and how they go. Everybody has to talk, of course. We agree with that.
But, you know, if they could only consider a little bit our condition at that point, you know, and I think they did. That's why I want to thank them for those chairs, because it saved our legs.
Q. After this tennis overdose you just had, what are you going to say to your friends or acquaintances? Don't talk about tennis for a week or...
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Please.
Q. Or a month?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Please, yes. I'm gonna definitely try to get that message to them (smiling).
Q. You had a brutal match against Murray, very, very tough, and then came back with one day less rest and won in a long match like that. How did you do it in terms of recovery? Was it really hard? Did you find a solution to help things out with regard to the breathing problems you had in the last match?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Generally it's very important to prepare well. Everybody has a different routine and different scheduling and program of practicing and recovering, and, you know, just preparing for what's coming up.
It's an individual sport, so we all try to rely on the people who are traveling with us. That's why I have said on the court is this is a team effort, you know, because I couldn't do it myself. I need all these people to take care of every aspect of my career, for my body, in order for me to be able to be ready to perform the way I did.
