“It always takes a few days to recover from a busy and high-intensity weekend,” Federer said. “Regardless of how difficult the match was physically, you still have a letdown emotionally, because you're drained from that perspective… You’re emotionally drained after every final, regardless if you win or lose.
“I'm happy about how I played and how I felt afterwards. Didn't take me a whole lot of time to get over it, to be honest, because I felt like it could have gone either way. Unfortunately I wasn't on the winner's side because maybe I have had enough luck throughout the last 14 months on my side of the court, so it's OK to lose some.”
Despite Nadal’s absence from the tournament, Federer must reach at least the quarter-finals to retain his grip on the No. 1 ATP Ranking. It remains among his greatest motivators.
“Winning tournaments, I guess trying to stay world No. 1,” he said. “At this point, because I'm so close, everything is so tight. Stay injury-free, enjoy myself, try to beat the best players that are out there.
“Yeah, that's it. And just enjoy it from that perspective. Then obviously there is a lot of family and friends and that stuff, the more important things that I care a lot about.”
