Even when I was No. 1 in the world, I was taking it one match at a time. I never was a player to look too far ahead, the way draws can pan out.

He's up there. But (Marat) Safin, on his game, is as hard to beat.

I'm not a guy who needs to read motivation books.

(Andy Roddick's) a different kind of guy. I don't spend a lot of time with him. His coach in the past (Tarik Benhabiles), I didn't have a lot of time for at all. He was a bigger problem than Andy.

Maybe if you're playing in London or America, you don't feel that pressure quite as much.

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