Simple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically.

I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don't dislike it.

I'm shocked every time that I've reached so many finals or won against so many players or whatever record it is. It strikes me and makes me obviously very happy and very proud that I've been able to do it for so many years at the highest of levels.

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.

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.

I have to fit holidays around tournaments, particularly the grand slams, in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York.

To handle that stardom, the red carpets, the photo shoots, people all of a sudden recognizing you and following you in everyday life, it's a bit weird. It's strange, and it can have funny effects on you in terms of do you like it or don't you like it. Some people run away from it, some people embrace it; I found a good middle ground.
