Post-match reaction from US Open champion Roger Federer:

– On becoming the only player to win five straight at both Wimbledon and the US Open: "It's nice to compare five Wimbledons to five US Opens, you know, no doubt. Not many guys -- nobody can do that, you know. (laughter)"

– On what he did post-match: "I've gotten in the habit of, you know, if I win a Slam, I want to enjoy it first with all my friends and family who came here and supported me throughout. I used to make the error of going into doping control and press right away, and I wouldn't be back for two-and-a-half hours, and then people had to leave and I wouldn't see them. I give myself a chance to soak up the great moment and enjoy it with them - glass of champagne, be myself for an hour, for a little bit in the locker room. Everybody's so happy, you talk about the match again, about the tournament, how great it is to be sitting here now with the trophy, take all sorts of pictures with the trophy, all your friends who are there and family and everybody's happy and proud."

– On the outside reaction to his dip in results this year: "I was aware of it. I mean, I'm a bit disappointed, sometimes to a point a bit annoyed, because all sorts of crazy people started writing me and trying to reach me, telling me I need some help either mentally or physically. (laughter) You're laughing but it's the way it goes. People come out of closet and think they can start helping me now. It's just a pain. For me, this sort of puts them to rest a little bit, and calms down the phones at my parents' a little bit, which I'm happy about."

– On the song "Still the One" being played frequently during his matches at the tournament: "It's great. The guy putting on the music being my fan, right?

– On his season as a whole: "Good... I always knew that if I were to get one Slam under my belt, especially the last one, things weren't looking that bad like everybody was talking about... I would have been disappointed, you know, losing today and having three finals and one semis of Slams. You feel like you missed an entire year, you know, being so close but yet so far, because semis and finals don't help me a whole lot anymore in my career. It's all about the wins, and that's why this is huge. This is massive, really, and I'm very, very happy about this Grand Slam obviously. It's a different type of flavor, this one, to me, no doubt. And I can definitely go into the rest of the season more relaxed now, and then also looking forward with great spirits for next year."
