That was...that was choking. You're right. But of course when you play against (Roger) Federer, he's No. 1 in the world, he won three grand slams last year, and he's just full of confidence. It's difficult to do anything regular to beat him. You have to do something extra to be able to have the chance to beat him. Set points, I had six of them and I couldn't take one. But I was close.

You're playing or you're not playing. If you're playing, so just shut up and play.

I was making comebacks every single year. That makes it difficult mentally. It causes a lot of stress.

But normally when you talk to yourself [on court] you say; 'I love you, you're a good guy, but don't miss next time, okay.'

You cannot take all the chances you get.

I've had a lot of luck. If I didn't I'd be washing bottles in Russia.

It's a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain. Every year it's getting worse and worse and worse. There has to be a radical change, and I hope it will be really soon.
