The problem is not the claycourt. The problem is, you know, rather something to do with the conditions on center court. Because I've played well on Suzanne Lenglen, on the other courts. But the Chatrier court is really, really big, and I just haven't had enough play on it. Maybe I come here next year and play a week on this court, if I can, if the French Federation lets me. We'll see. I've been playing well in other tournaments, in Davis Cup on clay. So for me it's not the surface, it's rather maybe the court.

I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don't dislike it.

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

I was aware of how incredible the match was. Unfortunately there had to be a winner. From my point of view many left feeling sorry for me instead of being happy for Rafa. Which hurts.

Obviously, matches and all that stuff takes its toll on your body and so forth. But as you get sort of a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit more experienced, you know also how to handle it.

With all the injury problems we have in men's tennis at the moment, I'm happy to still be standing.

I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.
