what federer said after his 15th grand slam championship

I'm happy I broke the record here because this is always the tournament that meant the most to me, It definitely feels like coming full circle, starting it here and ending it here.

It's not really one of those goals you set as a little boy, but man, it's been quite a career and quite a month, It feels amazing, but this is not why I'm playing tennis to break all sort of different records. But it's definitely one of the greatest ones to have.

(to Sampras) Thanks very much for coming. I know it's a long way, but you're a member, man, we like to see you here. It's such a pleasure to play in front of such greats legends.

(referring to Sampras) In a way, I still feel like we share [the record] because he was such a wonderful champion, He still has one up against me here at Wimbledon. It's nice that he shows appreciation for what I'm doing.

I'm aware that Rafa didn't play here, Injuries are part of the game, unfortunately, but I'm happy I became No. 1 in the world by winning this title because this is the biggest one there is out there. I love playing here.

This year is crazy, Things didn't look so good when I lost in the final of the Australian Open, which was still just an unbelievable result. But to come through and battle back and win Paris and now Wimbledon back-to-back, something Bjorn did a couple of times, it's amazing.
