SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, on similarities to his 2011 Championship run.

"Well, 2011, I played great tennis, you know, throughout the whole tournament. 2012 was the same but didn't manage to make that final step. You know, as we come closer and closer to the finish line the matches will get tougher, so that's where I will see where my game is and if I'm mentally strong enough to hold on. I mean, I have had a great Wimbledon run; Roland Garros, great clay court season. So I want to continue on. I want to build on that. I feel good about my game, myself. My physical state is pretty good. I'm fit. This is something that is obviously encouraging me for the next one."
