I have a Russian heart.
My family and I built my whole career from scratch.
When I come into a tournament, I'm expecting to win. That's my philosophy. I can't go to a tournament thinking, 'I'm going to get my ass kicked today, so I might as well leave.'
There are days when I go out on the court and I feel like I can't miss a ball.
As an individual, I take every match seriously, no matter who I'm going to play.
You have your bad moments in your career and your good moments. And it's been a good ride so far, but it's not over yet.
