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

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.

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

Yes, I have had difficult times on court and at certain tournaments but you need to forget about it and go forward because that's the way it works in our world.

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

The day I stop feeling the pressure and I'm just enjoying myself and taking it easy is when I'm 35, asking for a wild card and playing mixed doubles with Arnaud Clement.
