Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation. It's a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents.

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.

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.

You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.

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

When you're good at something, make that everything

Every match I go into, I'm the huge favorite. I lose a set and it's, like, crazy.
