It has been a difficult road this year, but still I look at every day as a new opportunity.

I think the French Open, in many ways, brought out a certain characteristic in me and in my game that was already there. Just the circumstances allowed for it to be able to show.

I didn't have the ability to blow people off the court, so I needed my legs, my preparation and the ability to think on my feet.
