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.

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

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

My coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this.

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

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