I'd rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.

My tennis is aggressive, though I wouldn't say that it's more physical than technical. I rely more on technique than physique, but being physical is always a help to me.

I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.

A lot of times I had some problems, but I always had the passion and the personal motivation to keep going, to keep working hard, keep fighting for the things that really motivates me. That's all.

The bad thing about the [tennis] calendar is how it is made and obligates you to play tournaments all year. If you want to achieve the most you can (and) go as high up (in the rankings) as you can, you have to play from the start to the finish because there are important tournaments from the beginning to the end.

I do notice that I am tired.

You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there.
