When you start off a new tournament, you want to do well.

This trophy is so special in the world of tennis and it feels great.

The more kilos you have to move around, the more it weighs on your knees. Then of course in terms of stamina, the way you move around, it's a little extra. It might not be much, but when you exercise with two, three extra kilos, you can feel a difference; it's important.

There were many occasions in my career where I could have given up, where I asked myself whether I would ever make it.

I think I have handled things pretty well last year and this. What I have to do now is try do it even better.

Whether it's in the right way or sometimes the wrong way, you learn about life and its lessons.

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