I want to do the best I can right away. There's no point for me to just kind of be relaxed about it. Of course, in each match winning is out of my control, but I want to try to do the best I can as soon as I can, and I want to have 10 successful years and not five slow ones and then five good ones.

Even if you're the greatest of all time, people are not just going to give it to you. It's a great lesson.

The journey towards success is not always easy or upwards.

I see the US Open as glamorous. That's the word that comes to mind.
