Roger Federer: 'It took me couple of weeks to get over loss to Djokovic'
Roger Federer previewed his upcoming match against Novak Djokovic at the ATP Finals in London. The Basel native said: "I think indoors you've got to go with what you can do best. At the end of the day, maybe it took me a few days, couple weeks at most, you know, to get over the Wimbledon loss. At the end of the day, I still thought I played a great final and a great tournament, beating Rafa there along the way. No, I'm excited playing against him. I'm excited to see how he's going to play tonight, as well. It's definitely going to give me some more information about what to expect. But other than that, I think I need to focus on my game, what I do best. And regardless of what I need to do, I just hope I play well."
On how it feels to get a lot of support, Federer added: "It,'s great. I'm very happy. It's very helpful to stay motivated on the tour, to walk out and feel like it's a dream come true for maybe many people or my fans who haven't gotten a chance to see me again, and for those who have seen me play already, it's another one, maybe another one or maybe not. So it really feels like a lot of these fans come out and maybe feel like it's maybe the last time they see me. I'm not sure. I feel like it's been that way for a few years now, but I keep going and I appreciate them always being behind me, to be honest. All I expect is that they have fair play towards the other players. I feel like they are. Social media can't always control it, but also there I really want to see a good, being nice to one another and not being nasty. No, I'm definitely very lucky to have this kind of support."
