If I stay healthy and I'm playing good tennis I have as good a chance as anybody.

I'm really looking forward to getting back and winning some matches but I'm not thinking about the U.S. Open yet, just getting through my first match.

It is a big adjustment but I've always loved that old saying of Jack Nicklaus: 'I retired from golf to go to work.' That sums it up for me.

You win any which way you can. You do what you have to do to get by. That's the way it works in any job.

My biggest problem will be lack of match toughness but I am a positive, optimistic person.

The only way to get back the confidence is to play and win matches. You can practise as much as you like, but you need confidence that comes from playing and winning matches.

It's about you. If you win, it's you; if you lose, it's you. Black and white. Nowhere to hide.
