Script:
2. 00:00 SOUNDBITE: (English) Roger Federer (on match) " I mean, time will tell. I'm happy that from my side I'm winning my matches in straight sets. It's been different conditions every match: the heat first and the indoor match and now normal conditions today with a bit of wind. So it's just good to get through and get a good feel out there and make sure if you've got a chance to win your matches easier to do so. That's what I was able to do today, so I'm pleased."
" I feel great. Like I said, I wake up and I feel like I don't need like a hot bath or anything, you know. One minute later you're like, Okay, if I needed to play tennis now I could. So that's very positive, because I have heard of different stories or, you know, when you have really a lot of muscle pain or you're really hurt sometimes, in your worst days it takes you longer to feel somewhat normal. Right now I feel very fresh and very good physically. That's why I do a lot of prevention work. You make sure you sleep enough and do all these things. You eat healthy and so forth. But it's been a good spell now. Like I said, I didn't have any setbacks since Hamburg really, and that's very good looking forward.
