Stan Wawrinka Interview Australian Open QF Wednesday, 28 January, 2015
Tennis Betting Odds
Q. After everything that happened in the tiebreak, how happy were you to see his dropshot hit the net?
STAN WAWRINKA: That one I was really happy because I was not going to get to that ball. Yeah, I had the wind with me, so it was not easy to make a dropshot, especially at that moment. No, it was a crazy tiebreak, but good tiebreak. Good to finish in three sets.
Q. You were serving very good with a lot of variety. Was that your plan?
STAN WAWRINKA: Yeah, for sure today I was serving really well. I'm happy with that part of my game. It's never easy to break Kei because he's playing so well. You need to be focused on what you need to do. You need to change the speed. You need to change where you serve also. Yeah, I think it was one of my best match if I look about that.

Rafa Nadal Interview Australian Open QF Tuesday, 27 January, 2015
Tennis Betting Odds
Q. Were you feeling at all unwell or unfit today?
RAFAEL NADAL: No. I am feeling okay. Just was not my day. I didn't play with the right intensity, with the right rhythm, and the opponent played better than me. In sport, when you are going to play against an opponent, was a day that the opponent played better than me.
Q. Do you think it's also the fact that you haven't played such a player for a while, the whole process of coming back?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, is probably not the day to talk about that. We talked enough about that before the tournament and almost every day, so is a day that I just can congratulate my opponent, accept that. Is obvious that I needed something more to be more competitive, as I did in the third. The third was the right set, the right game that I have to play. But is obvious that before I didn't play with the right confidence, with the right intensity, losing court, playing very short. I make him play very easy. So you cannot expect to win matches in quarterfinals of Grand Slam helping the opponent to play well. That's what I did. The first two sets, the beginning -- since the beginning of the third, I played with more character, more the way that I have to play to have chances to keep being -- to be where I want to be, to be where I have been for the last lot of years. I don't know how many. So that's it. Just will keep working hard on the things that I have to do. As I said when I arrived here, the process always is not easy. When you have injuries, are difficult the comebacks. There are so many examples around the world of sport that have been tough to be back. For me, I'm not an exception on that, no? I have to take the positive things. Without being at my top level of tennis I was able to be here in quarterfinals. Is not a bad result at all for me arriving here the way I arrived: only with one match, only with five matches in seven months. So taking the positive part, that's the thing that I have to take. That's just the beginning of the season, and I want to keep having chances to compete well against everybody. I need to keep working the way that I am doing for be ready for the next. The season is long, I know. Beginnings are tough. I need to be ready to accept all the situations that's going to happen or happened and try to be strong, accepting everything, and working hard to be back the way that I want to be. When I say 'be back,' I don't mean win or lose, I mean have the feeling on court that when you are there you feel confident, you feel you can compete against everybody with equal conditions.

Q. Tough night. How did you see it?
NICK KYRGIOS: Yeah, it was a really good experience. That was my first Aussie Open Grand Slam match playing on Rod Laver, so that was really cool. But he was way too good for me tonight. There are some things I can take from that match and get better at. Yeah, he was just way too good for me.
Q. How do you like his chances?
NICK KYRGIOS: Yeah, I said to him at the net, This is your time; go get him. I think he's got a really good chance of winning the whole thing.
Q. What did he say to you?
NICK KYRGIOS: Good tournament. Good luck for the rest of the year. We've got a pretty good relationship. We've talked about it on Twitter. He's been a guy that's always been supporting me, so...

Rafael Nadal Interview Australian Open R4 Sunday, 25 January, 2015
Q. It seems like after 5-all you had no problems anymore.
RAFAEL NADAL: Problems? There is always. There is always some key points of the match that change the dynamic of the match. Is true that I was lucky in the first set to have the set with me because was very dangerous. I think Kevin was playing very aggressive from the beginning, going for the winners every shot. He had the breakpoint before in the 3-2 or 3-All, I think. Then with the 5-All I was lucky, sure. I played two forehands down the line, because was not an easy forehand because he pushed me. I changed the direction, but I can miss that shot, no? Then a few good serves, but especially the ace again. Yeah, but in general, even if he had that chances in the first set, even in the first set seem that he was having more chances than me, I was playing better than the days before, no? I felt myself with better rhythm in the legs, better rhythm with my forehand. So in general, I am very happy the way I played today. The way that I improved my level is not the most important thing; obviously the victory is.
Q. Until the game that you broke him in the first set, you had only won one point on his serve. Was it a matter of you figuring out the serve, or did his level of serving drop?

Kei NIshikori Australian Open Interview Saturday, 24 January, 2015
Q. Give us an idea of what you changed up in the first set.
KEI NISHIKORI: I think I started playing more, you know, side to side. I was hitting to only his backhand, especially first set. He was playing really solid actually. Great forehand, hitting really aggressive. You know, also good serve. I think I was started little bit shaky, little bit tight. But after second set I tried to change my mind, tried to hit through every ball. Return was getting much better. I hit couple winners from returns. Yeah, after first set I was playing I think really solid.
Q. Any reason why you were feeling shaky in the first set?
KEI NISHIKORI: I don't know. I think it's little bit everything. He was playing aggressive, hitting really deep, good serves. I really couldn't do anything. You know, the tiebreak is always, you know, tight points. I just couldn't go hit through. I didn't want to risk it too much. So that's why I couldn't get the tiebreak. But, I don't know, after playing first set, I started feeling little bit, not relaxed, but no pressure. I start thinking to just go for everything.

Q. How much does the Stan the Man T-shirt cost?
STAN WAWRINKA: I can sell you one if you want (smiling).
Q. How are you feeling after that match today?
STAN WAWRINKA: I feel good. It was a really good match from me today. I was playing great. Tried to be more aggressive than normal. Did few mistake at the beginning. I was a little bit hesitating with my game. But in general I think was a strong match.
Q. Everybody is going to ask you this question, of course.
STAN WAWRINKA: Go for it. Roger?

Q. You didn't look quite comfortable out there today, especially the first two sets. Was something special going on or just a bad day?
ROGER FEDERER: Just a bad day, yeah. I mean, I wish I could have played better, but clearly it was tough losing the first two, you know. Had chances to get back into it. I let it slip, I mean, both times in some ways. I guess I won the wrong points out there today. I knew how important that second set tiebreaker was, so clearly that hurt, losing that one. The end wasn't pretty, you know. It wasn't easy to play with the shadow. But it was the same for both of us. Just a disappointing loss, you know.
Q. Did you have a chance to make a volley on the very final point?
ROGER FEDERER: I mean, I guess maybe if he hits it normally, maybe yes. But the way he hits it you think, This can't possibly land in. You kind of go and you're there and you're like, No, I'm going to let it go. As you're telling yourself that, you look behind you and you already know it's done, so... Because he was also running into the sun, so I have to cover cross-court just in case. That's where everybody goes. I don't know. Ask him how he felt hitting it. It's clearly a big blow because I actually hit my forehand pretty good.

Novak Djokovic Interview Australian Open R2 Thursday, 22 January, 2015
Australian Open Betting Odds
Q. A lot of top players seem to be suffering from heat, injuries. You seem very comfortable. What's the secret for you?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Practice (smiling).
Q. Can you practice?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I'm not only talking about practice on the tennis court, but practice the professionalism off the court. But injuries are part of the sport. That's something that sometimes happens even if you're trying to take care of every single aspect of your career and yourself, trying to have the discipline, holistic approach to everything. Professional tennis nowadays is very demanding in terms of commitment on and off the court. But, as I said, injuries happen. Especially for the tennis players, which are individual athletes, which have a lot of challenges they have to face for their bodies and their minds, traveling, changing time zones, surfaces, conditions of play. It takes a toll on your body, definitely.
Q. Were you surprised to see Rafa in such a physical state of distress last night?

Q. Pretty tough match today for you. Talk us through what made it so difficult in a way.
STAN WAWRINKA: Yeah. It was quite tough match. Happy to get through, especially in three sets. Condition wasn't easy today. Quite hot. Really fast on the court. And he was playing great. He was serving big, putting lots of pressure. Wasn't playing my best tennis, but I'm happy the way I fight today and the way I did with the match.
Q. How much was the weather, the heat a facture today?
STAN WAWRINKA: Was the first hot day I think, especially after ten days with quite cold and rainy a little bit. But for me doesn't change much. I'm not -- I don't have big problem when it's hot like that. It was just different condition. Faster court. Different, yeah, speed of the court. That's make a little bit different match.

Q. How was the match?
KEI NISHIKORI: Yeah, it was long four set. I thought he was playing really well, especially first couple set. He was really aggressive, returning well, and, yeah, was struggling my service game especially. But end of the third and fourth set I was start playing more aggressive and better tennis. Yeah, I thought it was a great match for both of us.
Q. What about the conditions? How did you handle the conditions today?
KEI NISHIKORI: Yeah, it was different than first day. Was much warmer. Hot out there. A lot of sun. It wasn't easy. Especially third and fourth set I was a little bit dizzy and tired. But, you know, it's going to be like this in Australia, so I think I was ready for it. Hopefully I won't play this condition again. Try to get healthy tomorrow.
Q. What about your next opponent? What can you tell us about him?
KEI NISHIKORI: Steve, right?

Australian Open Betting Odds
Q. Tough first set but seemed like you gained steam as the match went on?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Yeah. I mean, the whole match was not easy one. The tough condition again today. He was playing very smart. His game plan was actually good to go. But after the first set I find the way how to deal with that, how to handle it, and, you know, even though I was each set break down, I managed to come back and to play some good tennis.
Q. How would you rate where your serve is at at the moment?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Just the serve? Well, I mean, of course always it could be better. But in the tough situations and the tough points, I'm able to help myself with the serve. So overall I would say it's going a good direction. I can still keep some variations, especially on the second serve, one of the things we work on already. I would say overall quite good.
