I've played No. 1 in the world tennis before and there wasn't a time when I ever felt like a favorite,
I settled down on my service games and my ground strokes, put enough pressure on him to get that break.
I've been thinking that for four years. You never know when it's your last go,
It would be great to win, but I have no interest in putting a nice little bow around my career and handing it over to anybody,
