deal focused forget happened interested nice people stay stayed tomorrow
They told me that tomorrow they'll make big deal out of it, but try to forget what happened yesterday, and stay focused on your doubles, and they stayed focused on your match, the singles. It's nice to see people so much interested in you, you still have to focus on what you have to do.

And I got so many phone calls. I didn't know that I'd had that big an impact on people.

I wasn't ready for that. I didn't know that I can have so much impact on the people.

I have no idea (how I won), ... It was just unbelievable to come out here today. It was the first time I was playing at night (on the) stadium in a Grand Slam. Before the match I told myself to go out there and enjoy it. And I did.
