I did things I should not have done. But people make mistakes, especially at my age, when you feel you are so smart, but in fact you are an asshole.

I still think I have the speed and the variations also to win the matches, but its very good competition and also a great challenge for me too.

I don't think it's a low point being in the finals of the French Open, three points away from the victory.

I grew up on the tennis court with lots of other kids. There were like 40 kids all afternoon and I was one of the youngest ones, so I always had to chase everybody to keep up.

Playing (Serena) it always felt like playing a steamroller. No subtlety, no finesse, just raw, loud power. To respect this style of play was always a bit tough for me, but of course I had to, because the rules of tennis dont state that having a beautiful game is required to become No. 1.

Before I was the hunter. Now I'm the hunted.

Right now I like baseball, hockey and tennis players. And horseback riders.
