I have been amongst the best players in the world for 8 years. None at that level played as many ties as I did.

Unlike in my young days I'm not able to eat, drink and sleep tennis.

Right now I have more confidence in myself. I grew up.

I definitely wanted this win today and I don't want anybody to talk about my nerves anymore.

Well, I guess I needed this tough first round to really put me into that tournament, to really erase what happened at Indian Wells, which is now the case, you know.

I think you always have, you know, new players. Every year you see new faces, juniors coming into the seniors. I was one of them at the time long time ago now.

It took me time to adjust and to realise it was not going to happen like it did in the juniors.
