Novak Djokovic

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. At 2-2 in the second set, did you ask your coach what time it was?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: No.

Q. What did you ask, if you don't mind?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Can't tell you.

Q. Was fatigue a factor out there today?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: A little bit, yeah. I finished late last night, so could make it a factor.

Q. You twisted your ankle in the second set. How much did that affect you?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I was thinking a little bit about it, but it wasn't that bad. It was more the heat and started from that.

Q. Obviously you were really good yesterday. Did you feel a little bit more off today, not quite as good?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, yes. It's different when you play against an opponent who plays a similar game with you. You know, he was making me do a lot unforced errors. It's a fast court, but Nadal plays high balls which are suitable to my forehand. But he was playing a lot of slice and changing pace to my forehand. I just lost the rhythm.
