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

When I think of the Olympics I only think of good things. I think of what a great event it is and what it has done for me and my career, and changed my personal life, too.

I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn't stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.

The nicer the point, the more -- the better I feel, the more excited I get. But I never play that my opponent looks stupid. I think that is wrong. I have too much respect for every opponent I play.

The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that's the beauty of it.

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

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