Q. There is a very special atmosphere when you play with Gaël. Can you just comment on this and what it was like out there on Centre Court with those people doing the wave and all that?

GILLES SIMON: Well, I think Gaël is a fantastic player for the crowd. He's doing a lot of things on the court.

But I think he's bringing a lot to the game, and I'm really happy every time I have to play with him. He's an entertainer, and you have to deal with it because it's hard to focus sometimes when you face him.
