I think I was written off after Wimbledon, so it hasn't been too bad since then. I'm going to give Ukraine the last chance to try to get that British No 1 spot.
If I stay healthy and I'm playing good tennis I have as good a chance as anybody.
We usually say it doesn't mean much, but it definitely does.
I think Tim and I have been waiting for this for a decade, finally to see someone who I believe is the real deal and has proven himself already in the Grand Slams and on the tour,
(John) McEnroe sees him in the top 20, I see him getting into the top 50 and then the top 20.
I was really pleased, ... As I say, I had ups and downs in my career. The older you get, time passes on, people forgive and move on. It was really nice. I enjoyed the reception I got and the support from the public. It was great.
I thought the first set was really good, especially getting that early break. He's a very deceptive player.
We're cautiously optimistic so we are just hoping for the best.
We've had many tough battles and I know it's going to be a difficult match.
We're very, very excited about it, but we're just taking it one day at a time at the moment,
It's going to be much tougher against Switzerland and Federer, but our team has matured,
I'm going to go give it a shot, see if I can get out of it what I want,
I just wish he'd kept his mouth shut,
I've had a tough last two or three years. Now I'm trying to make the most of it. I'm just going to keep playing and keep going as long as I can because it's better than being in the real world.
