Matches are won and lost so many times in the locker room.

Tennis players go into a press conference, and almost every one of them is the same. We do very little differently on a day-to-day basis.

I think I was as mentally tough as I've ever been. I felt like I handled the situation both on and off the court extremely well. I felt like I needed to.

Everyone has to call 'time' at some stage.

I was actually really happy with where my game was at. That's probably the most disappointing aspect.

That's when you've got to grit your teeth and hang in there and try and find a way to win when you're not playing your best tennis - that's what I can be proud of

That's what you do all the hard work for, to play in situations that put your body through gruelling times. If you're not up to it, pull out.
