Im sick of making bloody history.
I'm the sort of person who keeps a lot to myself.
I don't know if Wimbledon's seen anything like it. I don't know if they will again. But it was just - it was electric. The Aussie crowd, I'm really proud of them, the way they conducted themselves. You know they're great losers, as well.
I'm not going to be a ten or twelve grand-slam winner. It's not going to happen.
You've got to be realistic.
