I'm more in that Rafa Nadal high-energy high-octane mold out there. I wear that emotion on the court. That's how I play my best tennis. People either like that or not. And I can't change that: that's who I am on a tennis court.

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.

When I go out to play, I still believe I'm as good as anyone out there. I don't have to prove anyone wrong. I know what I've done and how well I can play.

I've probably put up with more criticism than a lot of people out there. At the end of the day, you block out everything, especially with your personal life.

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

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.

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.
