But on a daily basis, it’s just easier when you’re winning a lot
Federer told the ATP World Tour: “It’s just a nice feeling. You’re happier on a daily basis.
“I guess maybe when you haven’t won a lot or you’ve lost a lot, you always wonder and ask yourself what else could I do, what do I need to change.
“Even if you have a long-term plan you don’t feel like there are changes required, you just need matches, you need wins, you need momentum.

“But on a daily basis, it’s just easier when you’re winning a lot and that’s what I’ve done.
“This year has been a lot of fun, I really enjoyed myself. “Reached a lot of goals in the process too like world number one, another Grand Slam title in the bag.
“It’s been a fun ride and there’s a lot of attention, a lot energy around my matches which also helped me to play better.”
