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.

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

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.

Grand Slams are different. If you can get through a few matches, the draw opens up and you get confident. You just need a little bit of luck early, you get through those opening matches and you never know what could happen.

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.

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

There are people who love you and people who hate you, but for me, more so, people only think they know me by how I act or perform on a tennis court.
