Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn't get more consistent than this year.

I went to Phuket already, but would love to go to Chiang Mai one day.

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.

Mentally, I'm not ever going to go away.

You can't expect yourself to be already peaking like crazy in an exhibition tournament.

Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.

The serve, I was too young and too small and... not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot. So I used to always run around my backhand, you know, use my forehand as much as I could, and so that's why I think it's my strength also today, you know.
