Doha - the warm up for the Australian Open is over for him and his rival Nadal.
The #1 reached the QF in Qatar, the #2 - the SF.
Both are satisfied... Going from 0 to 100 would be perfect but maybe that's too much to ask for.

"I had problems with my body and just hoped to finish the season... I played in Paris where it wasn't maybe necessary to play
but I felt like playing and that's why I did it and we saw what happened.
Then I had holidays, practiced in Dubai where everything went well. My back wasn't an issue there.
Here I played 4 matches and now I am feeling more or less well. That's why I am excited to see what will happen at the AO."

"Nowadays I'm measured mainly by my performance at the GSs and when I win one it means that I should win every tournament that follows.
It's a little bit funny situation sometimes because people are not happy with my results and it's a pity because I enjoy playing.
The pressure is also enormous. Well, of course I try my best because of the media, people and all the expectations
and that's why I try to take it match by match and even point by point when I have nothing else left...
And here I was just one win far from the final...
That's why I hope that I'll do well in Australia because I'll be measured again by my performance there.
If I don't do well it will be very hard to build my confidence for the rest of the season (not sure about his sentence...).
I hope that it will be better than last year."

"It's a very interesting situation for sure. No matter which GS I win I'll equal Sampras's record.
Each slam might be special. Winning again Wimbledon is special anyway but also winning RG for the 1st time and USO for the 6th time...
I have had so much pressure in the past that this is actually nothing new for me. I even enjoy this challenge.
But first I hope that I'll do well in Australia which will give me good chances to regain the #1. I hope that things will go well for me."
