Seriously. I'm not playing to prove anything to journalists. I'm playing for myself, for my fans,to make people happy.

What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.

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

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

I've done so many interviews over the years in so many different languages. Radios. Papers. Magazines. There's always another interview to do. It's quite something, I have to say.

When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.

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?
