Federer [on Nadal]: “He had a couple of scares here, you know. He could have lost two matches. Came through. So in the end it looks like he played incredible again. But I think he was struggling a little bit. I don't know if he's playing better. The draw's been different for him. But he's tough as always, consistent. Gave himself a chance. He totally deserves to be back in the final.
[On the watching Bjorn Borg]: “It will be an incredible, awesome feeling for me to achieve this goal because never, ever and I think the same for him we thought we were going to win Wimbledon so many times. Now I'm in the position to equal his great record. I saw him sitting there today. Thank God only in the second set so I could concentrate on the first set first. It is tricky when you see him sitting there because he is a living legend. I have so much respect for him that it is great that he's here. I hope I can do the job tomorrow.”
Nadal [differences between now and 2006 final]: “This year I am playing so much better than last year, no? Sure, for all the season I am playing so much better. Sure, he's the favorite. No one have any doubt about this. But I going to try my best, no? Try to continuing playing my aggressive tennis and try to go to the court believing in the victory.
“I know I have to improve. If I was winning the final last year, if I lose for sure, too, I have to improve lot of things for continuing be in the top positions. And if I want to win here any day, I need to continuing improving my serve, my volley, my slice, my aggressive game, everything. Anyway, I play two finals. That's very good. But, well, I will see tomorrow. But I have to improve. I just have 21 years old one month ago.”
