I had to listen to the classical music because it calms me down, calms my nerves down.

I'm happy, my family's happy, everything is going well.

You have to believe on the court. In the end, it's mental. In these moments against a great champion like Rafa, you have to believe. It's all about stepping in and taking your chances. I always believed, but it's a process of learning.

What I learned as a young child continues to have a tremendous impact on my life today.

Tennis players we're always playing in center courts that feel like arenas. And when we get on the court and the crowd cheers your name or salutes you - it's like you're a gladiator in the arena. And everyone is cheering - and you're fighting, you're screaming, during your strokes - it feels like you're an animal, fighting for your life.

My mother is a special story. She went through so much to bring us up, four men at home, especially when our country was going through really difficult times.
