well after he lost he said

I lost because I was losimg my calm and didn?t play well. People think I win because I am in in good physical shape but it is because I play well. Today I didn?t play well. The second set, I should have won it 6-4?. but I lost my calm.

I need to face the fact I didn?t play well? When I practiced today I felt good but that?s the end of the road, I have to accept my defeat. This is not a tragedy losing at the French Open. It had to happen some day.

Had I played my best level against Soderling maybe the result would have been different? I didn?t play at my best level and was playing someone who was playing very well today. I?ve seen him play many times so his playing level was not a surprise. My playing level was a surprise today.
