It's too many questions about what I'm going to do, why I'm retiring, and this and that. So I answer the same question, I don't know, a thousand times.
I've lived my life the way I wanted to, whether scaling the mountains, partying long into the night or having fun playing soccer.
We have known each other since we were nine years old and we have played together in Russia, ... We played in the Under-16 European championships and he beat me in the quarterfinals. He's one of my best friends and I really like him. It will be nice to play him and hopefully get revenge.
We have eyes, and we see that not many people are interested in the sports.
To be honest I think he ran out of gas. When I broke him in the third set I think his belief went. He was missing that extra step and he could not cope.
Unfortunately, my career, it's a little roller-coaster, ... So I need to get used to it. That's how I am.
