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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
