Roger FedererPress Conference
R. FEDERER/G. Garcia-Lopez6-3, 6-4
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please, in English.
Q. How did you find your knee was? Also, whenyou're playing someone like that that is going forshots all the time, testing your movement?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, the knee felt really good,like in practice. Felt like I didn't have to worry aboutit. I could just go freely. I think I'm at a point nowwhere, you know, I'm looking more forward in thesense that whenever I can dig out a good point, I didgood movement, I just kind of went for the dropshotwithout having second thoughts. It's only building onmy confidence now, which is great.It's been like that for at least, I'd say, over a weeknow. Yeah, I was very pleased how I felt, even how Iplayed. I mean, he did kind of go for his shots, butwe had longer rallies in the beginning of the first set.I think in a way it was a perfect match. It was close inthe beginning, then I was able to go on a roll. Pointswere cut short by virtue of me serving better andreturning better, getting second serves, takingadvantage of that fact.At the end, again, I had to fight for it. I went throughdifferent phases in the match. Also emotionally. Iwas excited and tense in the beginning just becauseit's a first round. It's my first match back. So it wasnice to go through all these emotions.At the end he's a guy that knows how to close out,knows how to play points on clay. It was a great winfor me. I said beforehand, it was always going to bea winning result today, regardless of winning or losingessentially. I'm just very happy I'm back on the touragain.I think I got what I needed. So we'll see how I feeltomorrow, tonight, the next day. Sometimes after amatch, you can feel it for two days. At this point I'mpretty confident I'll feel fine.
Q. You were saying the knee felt good for the lastweek. Does that mean in retrospect maybe it wasa good thing you didn't play in Miami?
ROGER FEDERER: No, I would have been okay inMiami. Just that it was close from feeling perfectlyfine. I was probably one week in of feeling fine. Butevery week that goes by, you feel more confident,more solid.I've been going full out for three weeks now maybe.Ever since I arrived here, I've been able to practiceon center court every day. I felt really good.It's nice to see it also held up in the match the way itdid in practice.
Q. Is the medical advice you don't need to holdback at all?
ROGER FEDERER: No, no, I'm at the point wherethe knee's solid, and it's fine. I mean, the knee doesfeel different after the operation. It just does feel likea different knee. I guess I also got to get used tothat.It's not painful or anything. It just feels differentbecause I've had a different knee for 34 years. Sothat's why it's a different feel, but not in a bad way, Imust tell you.
Q. Had a minor meltdown, broken to love servingfor the match.
ROGER FEDERER: I served and volleyed twice. Hehit twice a really good return off the backhand whichhe didn't hit for the entire match. Maybe he wassaving that one for that particular game (smiling). Idon't remember what happened on the other two.But I think I actually served okay in that game.He's a good player, so clearly it can happen. It wasgood for me to see, as well, that if your opponentstrings some good shots together, some good points,and you maybe pick the wrong decisions, it canhappen very quickly. That's why you've always got tostay very focused.I was trying to do that. It just worked out in a wayreally well for him to get back. Now in retrospect, I'mhappy I got tested like this, that I did have to take theright decisions at 30-All, 5-4, serving for the match.Serve and volley on the second serve, all that stuff.It's good to go through these tougher moments earlyon in a tournament like this, especially coming off aninjury.
Q. How much did you miss it? How hard did youfind it to be away?
ROGER FEDERER: Honestly, I didn't miss it toomuch. I was really happy being home. I was reallyhappy doing the rehab. I just enjoyed the process ofgetting better every day. I really thought it was something very different that I've never really had toexperience to this extent in my career.I'm very happy how I came through it mentally,physically, emotionally as well. I had a short sort ofdown right after surgery where I felt very sad andworried for maybe 12 hours. After that, once I gotback up walking on the crutches, I felt it would befine, it's going to be okay.Then I felt improvement every single day. Bigimprovements. I was surprised how much I could do,how quickly I could do it. I was pretty healthy goinginto the surgery, because I just came off playing bestof-five-setmatches. Plus I had December where Iworked out really hard. I think that's also why I wasable to bounce back as quick as I did.I'm really happy with how I coped with the injury andthe rehabbing, yeah.
THE MODERATOR: Questions in French.
Q. That was your first match after being away fortwo months and a half. How did you feel on thecourt?ROGER FEDERER: I'm quite reassured. I wasdissatisfied. I don't know if you can say I'm relieved,it's not the right word, but I'm just happy that I wasagain on the court playing against the best players infront of a crowd.I saw the atmosphere was different on center courtfrom the 10 previous days where I had practiced onthe court. Suddenly the stadium was full. Also thetension was different. You can feel it in your body.So I'm happy that I was able to experience this onceagain. I'm also very satisfied with my performance.The knee was okay. I was able to serve well. But Idon't want to go into the details because everythingwas positive for me today.
Q. Just to be precise, was it the internal orexternal meniscus?
ROGER FEDERER: The internal meniscus.
Q. During the whole process, did you have amoment when you were afraid that somethingwouldn't come back, that you wouldn't be able todo something again?
ROGER FEDERER: As I said, for me, the toughestmoment was the two hours after waking up. Icouldn't feel my knee, my leg. I could hardly movemy toes. It was hurting a little. This is when I was abit afraid about the future. Suddenly I thought that Ineeded to really go for it if I wanted to be aprofessional tennis player. I was wondering.But then my father came to visit me in the hospital.Mirka was there, too. The first evening things werealready better. We were joking again with my doctor.It was good to see everybody there.The next day or two days later I had a meeting withthe whole team to talk about our plan, our schedule,how we were going to do the rehabilitation process,what tournament I could start playing again. Fromthere, it became a lot more pleasant because I wasable to be much more positive mentally. I knew wehad a plan.Once you have a plan, it's better. You have to waituntil the surgery is over to know how the surgerywent. Then it was good talking with the doctor whotold me what I could expect for the next 10 days, thenext three weeks, et cetera. So there was a slightpossibility of me playing Miami.It's always good to have a goal. So the goal wasMiami. In the end, I was very satisfied to say I wasready to play for that tournament, but unfortunatelythe virus stopped me from doing that.

In the end, I was very satisfied to say I wasready to play for that tournament, but unfortunatelythe virus stopped me from doing that.
Q. Is it true that in your whole life you never had a total anesthesia?
ROGER FEDERER: I had anesthesia for my wisdom teeth, but that was local anesthesia only. So, indeed, I was a bit afraid before the surgery. I had a different kind of fear after the surgery. After the surgery, I was sad I had to do this surgery. I thought I would be able to have my whole career without any surgery. But I was happy the way it happened, in fact. It didn't happen when I was playing and pulling on my leg too hard or something. But I don't know what I did. I gave a bath to my daughters. It was something that could have happened to anyone. Maybe my meniscus was degenerated and ready to collapse already, so I'm happy the way it happened. I'm thankful for that.
Q. This is a question that has nothing to do with the knee. Julien Hoferlin went earlier than he should. Can you say something about him?
ROGER FEDERER: I've known him for a very long time. I've known Thierry and Julien since we were juniors. Later on I didn't see him because he was playing the challengers. But I saw him a lot on the tour. We always got along together. It's always very sad. So the whole tennis family is sad for his family and for friends like Thierry. It always affects me, of course, when it happens. It happened so quickly, after an exceptional year for the Belgian team in Davis Cup. Fortunately he was able to experience huge moments with his tennis team, the Davis Cup team. But there's nothing you can change.
Q. Sometimes soccer players, when they have a surgery, say the major test is when they're able to tackle again. Is there something particular you need to do to be totally reassured about your knee?
ROGER FEDERER: Right now? No. Maybe I will need to see how my knee will be after three matches in a row. But I'm not afraid because I didn't go too hard during the practice, the fitness sessions. So I've been working with my physio. In rehabilitation they told me, Now you're cured, you don't need to be afraid anymore. If I'm still afraid, it's only in my mind. I'm creating this. I have no pain. I can go for it. I'm totally reassured. In the beginning it was extremely interesting to see how things developed. First I was afraid when I was walking with the crutches, then I started walking without the crutches, and then the stairs. So it's one step after the other, like a child learning. When you don't have your crutches, you start running. You think it's wonderful. Then you can jump. Then you can jump higher. Then you can move more quickly, you can sprint. Every time I was able to do something for the first time, I saw I was improving, it made me more confident. I did that for six weeks. I loved that part of rehabilitation.
Q. So today you went to your limit? You let go?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I always did what the physio and the doctor and the physical therapist told me. Each time I was improving, we went to the limit, then they looked at the reaction of me knee, one hour after, three hours after, then the next day. If nothing happened, then you go to the next level. Maybe once I had some liquid in the knee after serving 20 times. But 24 hours afterwards, it was fine. That was the worst thing that happened, nothing else. So it was good to see it was a crescendo all the time. I would like to thank everyone who worked for me.
