What I Think I've Been Able To

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 Haven't Had A Cramp Since '99. That Was My Only Time, In Davis Cup, When I Was Panicky. I Was Young. I'm Very Proud Of That. Never Pulled Out. Never Had Cramps. Never Lost Very Much Because Of Fitness, Especially Later On In My Career Where I Knew I've Put In The Hard Work. I've Done That. I've Been Very Fortunate And Clever As Well To Understand How I Need To Work, When I Need To Work. So I'm Very Happy To Have Stayed Injury Free For So Long. I Hope I Can Still Maintain A Few Good Years On The Tour. I Really Hope So.

I Am Very Blessed To Be Able To Play Tennis, The Sport That I Love And Very Grateful For The Opportunities To Play In The Finals Of Big Events, When The Season Starts You Are On The Roll Constantly And Obliged To Be Committed To Daily Routines On And Off The Court.

When They [court Announcers] Say, 'this Is The World No. 2,' It Just Doesn't Sound Right To Me Because Either I'm No. 1 Or I'm A Grand Slam Champion. I'm Not World No. 2. I Just Don't Like The Ring Of It When I'm Introduced On Court Because I've Been Up There For So, So Long.

It's Just Unreal, I'm Shocked Myself. I've Played Good Matches Here, But Never Really Almost Destroyed Somebody.
