I always knew I had something special.

For me, I'm in the driver's seat; I'm No. 1 in the world. I've won the last couple of meetings, and I've won the big tournaments lately. Whoever comes, I'll try to beat him. But it's almost up to me to decide who's my rival, isn't it?

Once you reach a good level in tennis it fills you with a lot of motivation. I hope I can do it for a long time.

My family is the thing I miss most on the tour.

I don't mind fans coming up in a friendly, respectful way. That's all part of the fun of being a top tennis player. But if people take pictures without permission, particularly if my children are in the shot, I feel uncomfortable.

I'm not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.

I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.
