I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible.

If you want a player to serve and volley more, you need to teach them to do that more, how to move at the net.

In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.

It's easy to start over-thinking things and over-analysing things.

Like most guys, I've always liked watches. I can always check the time on my phone, but having a watch is so much better.

My fitness trainer's English, my physio's English, some of my friends are English. I don't have a problem with English people at all.

Normally I sleep for 9, 10 hours a night.

Obviously you try to keep as much of your private life as private as you can.

One of the things I would have loved to have had was a family that worked better together, although I love my mother and father to bits.

Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.

Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.

There is a fear of emotion in tennis.

Well, my mum's been a tennis coach - she coached me till I was 12.

When I'm at home, I enjoy going go-karting.

When I'm in Miami I like to go and watch basketball, the Miami Heat.

When I'm training in December, I have to eat like 6,000 calories a day to maintain my weight. It's a bit tiring.

You are always talking about yourself and tennis and how you are feeling. I try to avoid it when I don't have to.

You can't focus on other people's careers. Everybody is different.

You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players.

A lot of the players are very complimentary about each other; they embrace at the end of matches because the level of the tennis has been so good. I think that's something that tennis has got to be proud of.
