There Is No Way Around The Hard

I'm Shocked Every Time That I've Reached So Many Finals Or Won Against So Many Players Or Whatever Record It Is. It Strikes Me And Makes Me Obviously Very Happy And Very Proud That I've Been Able To Do It For So Many Years At The Highest Of Levels.

One Of My Big, Big Strengths I Think Early On In My Career Was That I Could Learn Very Quickly. You Wouldn't Have To Tell Me The Things 10 Times Or 50 Times Until I Would Understand Them. You Would Only Have To Tell Me Two Or Three Times.

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.

One Or Two Years Ago, I Didn't Know Who I Was On Court And I Used To Swear A Lot. But Now I've Learned How To Cope And Can Therefore Win 10 Matches In A Row. I Want To Be Remembered As A Good Player Rather Than An Idiot On Court.

My Favorite Shot Is Always Gonna Be The Forehand. It Used To Always Be My Favorite Shot When I Was Young, So It's The One I've Won All The Points With.
