I don't like his style. He serves one, two, three serves hard, and then he serves one like he's throwing it with his hand. He hits unbelievable winner from nowhere on the court and then sometimes he just misses an easy point. You never know what he plays. You are absolutely out of tempo.
I was really surprised ... I played a long time indoors and now it's completely different, so I am very happy to win my first match.
I said to myself it would be nice if I could put my name on that list.
I'm very happy because this was my first Masters final and my first win and it was such a great match, ... It's a great way to finish the year.
I suppose watching her going about her life is the greatest lesson I could learn,
I don't know what my mindset is. I don't always understand what my motivations are,
To beat Federer, you have to play more than 100 per cent, ... That was a big moment in my career and it was also good for the confidence because I know I can beat the top guys.
Every time I am off the tennis tour, I go back home.
