I have noticed nothing. Had I good is a Yes. But I couldn't find a rhythm. Why I won – it is because continued to fight. Don't know if it's possible to train the faith in yourself and fight the spirit. It comes with experience. The more you play important matches at major tournaments, the more comfortable you feel in such stressful situations.

During the match, I'm not worried about that I can lose and that how I play. I couldn't get into a rhythm. I had good bars when I won several consecutive service games, but for the most part I was on the defensive, "he quoted Džokoviča official site of the tournament.
