But it shows that you care, and that's the positive you take out of it. Often when you are nervous, you can play your best tennis.
Q. Did it feel noticeably different walking out as a major winner?
ANDY MURRAY: No, not really. I think I've been asked that question a lot. It didn't feel much difference to me. Still nervous before I went on to play the match.
You know, I think when I would see the benefits of that is if I get myself deep into a slam this year and you're playing against the top players, that's I think when you'll draw on that experience and use it in the right way.
But I don't think it makes, you know, personally a huge amount of difference to how you feel at the beginning of events.
Q. Is it tricky that everyone is understandably looking to the last major and all you want to do is look forward?
ANDY MURRAY: No, it's not a bad thing. I've often had to look at majors, having lost in finals or having lost in tough semifinals. It's nice to have that memory of having won one.
But, yeah, doesn't matter what anyone else is doing; it matters what I'm doing. I'm focused on this event, and I trained really hard to get myself ready for it.
So whether everyone else is still thinking about the US Open or not makes no difference to me.
Q. I think the forecast is for about 39 degrees on Thursday. Does that make you more concerned about where you are in the schedule at all, what time of day you play?
ANDY MURRAY: No, I mean, you know, obviously preferably when there's a bit of shade on the court in temperatures like that. It obviously helps.
But, yeah, I mean, half the draw's going to be in the same situation. Whether you play at 11:00, I mean, it's going to be really warm in the evening as well, but obviously not quite so bad.
But, yeah, for a majority of the day, it's going to be tough conditions to play in, and need to be ready for it.
Q. Did you check in which half of the draw Janowicz is in?
ANDY MURRAY: It wasn't the first thing I did when I saw the draw, no. I didn't focus on that too much. But I'm pretty sure he played yesterday. I saw him warming up for his match, so...
I see he's in the top half.
Q. There has been so sad news today about Brad Drewett, the ATP World Tour chairman stepping down. Do you have a message for Brad?
ANDY MURRAY: Of all the people in his position, since I've been part of the ATP, I spent more time with him than I did with any of the other guys before him. We had, you know, numerous meetings with him, with the Grand Slams, you know, chatted to him a lot privately, as well.
Yeah, it's obviously very shocking news. Very sad. You know, he's done a very good job for the tour. He's done a good job of bringing the tournaments together and arranging, you know, the meetings we had with the slams. He's definitely had an impact in the time he's been working there.
So, yeah, it's a big shame to hear something like that happen. Hope he's okay.
