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.

We all had, at some point, matches we should have won and we didn't and that's the game. That's just the way the sport is. Otherwise, if everything was written before, we don't need to play.

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

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.

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

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