I've always enjoyed coming to Doha and playing here. The Qatar Open offers a good tune-up before the Australian Open but I am not thinking about winning it.

I don't know what this mystery thing is that I'm meant to be passing on - what is it? A torch, a flag, a baton?

I'm disappointed right now, but I'm sure that a week from Monday (the start of Wimbledon) I'll be raring to go.

It wasn't a good season for me in 2005 and I wanted to try to get off to a good start. And beating a guy of his caliber is what I was looking for.

Those guys probably have separated themselves (from the rest). Maybe I wouldn't put Federer in the same bracket as the other three, he's had such a superb season.

With my experience of the press I am aware that these things get built up and blown out of proportion,
