I don't think there has been enough communication between the players and the tournaments. In one sense it's just as much the players' fault. Players talk between each other and in the locker room about things that can be improved and then when the time comes to talk and really do something about it they stop.

As a kid I was creative.

I think luck falls on not just the brave but also the ones who believe they belong there.

Mostly the problems when I was down were caused by myself. There were times when I was not responsible enough or decisive enough.

I embraced, I think, the process of becoming No. 1 of the world, which was long and difficult, but it's sweeter in the end.

My father had never watched tennis, never liked tennis too much. He said, 'OK, we buy a racket, we watch together,' because we didn't know anything. It was a process of learning together that made it more interesting.

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