A man who wins, is a man who thinks he can.

It is always in my mind still that I can crush anybody. That's not an issue. But I think that is the same for most athletes. If you don't believe you can win tournaments anymore, then you can't do it.

The week before the (US Open) I gave a few interviews for CNN, USA Network, New York Times, USA Today and Sports Illustrated which had been arranged beforehand. The reason for giving these interviews is not only because working with the media is just part of the job, it is much more my desire to contribute to the promotion of tennis in the U.S.

You can be stubborn and successful or you can give it up a bit and change things around. For me it's important to have a bit of both.

I'm as patient a father as I am on the tennis court. It takes a lot for me to get really upset, but sometimes kids can get you really cross if they really keep bugging you.

The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that's the beauty of it.

Hopefully I can just have another terrible year with only the one Grand Slam and that will be just fine.
