I always believe if you're stuck in a hole and maybe things aren't going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.

I love tennis! I've always felt like this because it is such a classy sport with a great, competitive flair to it.

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

Winning or losing, it's always something special and something you'll remember, even more so when the match was as dramatic as it was today. It's even more memorable when I see my kids there with my wife and everything. That's what touched me the most, to be quite honest. The disappointment of the match itself went pretty quickly.

I hope so. God, I've practiced so much that I you don't want to be worse five years later. I feel I have a great game today. I know how hard it is to pull off those great shots, and I know how easy it is to miss, so I'm more aware of these things. But I'm so happy I'm at the age I am right now because I had such a great run and I know there's still more possible.

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

I have two lives, and all the problems I might have, I feel like I drop them once I step on to the match court.
