I'm gonna have to start winning some of the matches to call it a rivalry!

I'm an emotional player ... I like to leave it out there.

There's no doubt there are issues with clay. Our issues have issues that are issues right now. That's not a secret.

It's pretty high up there on the list. Being able to return a serve at that speed is one of the biggest things that separates the professionals from the recreational players.

I don't think I'm one of those guys who won't pick up a racket for three years...I love hitting tennis balls.

I definitely think the European weather has more of a factor than the European clay. I think the European weather changes from week to week, I mean, last year it was sunny and hot and this week it's kind of playing tricks on us a little bit. I definitely think that is a factor.

I don't think anyone in their right mind takes me serious.
