The one thing you can do for sure is push the luck on your side

I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.

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

Confidence? Are you kidding me? I mean, please. Look, some players grow up and play like that. I remember losing junior matches. Just being down 5-2 in the third, and they all just start slapping shots.

Clearly, when you win everything, it's fun. That doesn't necessarily mean you love the game more.

I'm not angry. As an athlete ... you should be open to criticism, and you're allowed to be criticized, because not everybody has the same opinion, not everybody likes the same players. The rankings are quite volatile: Today you're 'great,' tomorrow you're 'not,' but then you're 'great' again. It makes for great stories. Now, I always look at the long term and by doing that, obviously, I can stay calm through the storm.

I definitely feel there's room for improvement.
