I've got a lot of experience and in the third set I started to play really well. I wanted to get off to a good start and it puts a little less pressure on Alex/
I've had overwhelming support from my friends and family.
We've had many tough battles and I know it's going to be a difficult match.
We're very, very excited about it, but we're just taking it one day at a time at the moment,
We're cautiously optimistic so we are just hoping for the best.
We usually say it doesn't mean much, but it definitely does.
It's about you. If you win, it's you; if you lose, it's you. Black and white. Nowhere to hide.
Basically, it's just fatigue, ... I've run out of gas a little bit. I've played a lot this summer, and the body's just telling me I'm fatigued.
You win any which way you can. You do what you have to do to get by. That's the way it works in any job.
I don't read all the newspapers.
You do it for the highs, when you're totally engrossed and everything's flowing and whatever you want, you get. It's like magic. That's why you play the game. That's what it's for. That's why you work.
The only way to get back the confidence is to play and win matches. You can practise as much as you like, but you need confidence that comes from playing and winning matches.
The downside isn't really injury, fear of injury or the process of fighting back from injury. The downside, the very worst thing in the world, is surgery.
It's not a break until you hold your serve.
