My aim over the next few months is that I have a lot of points to defend in Miami and Hamburg, after that I can set my sights on No. 1.

My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.

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 game is a lot about footwork. If I move well, I play well.

It's not so simple to just stay in the moment and trust your game and your strength that you can turn it around.

Sometimes I am a different character in different languages. I have different enjoyment from them. Sometimes different answers come out of me. Like, I didnt even know that about me. I get to know myself through different languages, actually.

But so far I have the feeling that the chances are there to repeat last year's season.
