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.

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

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.

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

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.
