I am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
When you're good at something, make that everything
There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.
Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that's when you start playing your best.
I fear no one, but respect everyone.
It's not for sure I'm going to finish No 1 in the world. I've still got to play well and defend my titles and make sure I play well. So I have a lot to play for next few months.
He is good enough to beat me on a day when I am not on, ... I expect a tough match.
I was little bit surprised, ... I don't play much in the morning anymore.
I have a great record against anybody, basically, right now. So it doesn't really matter who I play in the finals; I'll be in there as the big favorite.
I'm trying to figure out what's the best way for me to play, and try to get as many matches as possible on clay. The more I do that, the more sure I get about sliding on clay, the points, how they're being played and everything.
I enjoyed the battle against him. I have answered some questions I had about how to play on clay.
I was very focussed on this match, very concentrated.
I was struggling in the beginning, ... The start of the match was crucial, and I couldn't get on top of him there. Still, in the end, to turn it around and not play my best is always a good feeling.
You know, I don't only play for the record books.
