I still need to do this and that but I've played a couple of tournaments now and I feel I can get better ... I love coming back here, this stadium has been so good to me.
I think I've come a far way. I haven't won a tournament yet or grand slams. They're coming up. I think already that I showed that I've still got some game.
Maybe I have this little underdog thing now, not being out there for three years and coming back. You've seen that in the past with some other athletes and it's nice to feel the same way.
I don't think it was that easy when I was down 3-1 today. Every match I get out here is a coming back home.
I love coming back here, this stadium has been so good to me.
It was beautiful to walk in there. I could already feel the atmosphere coming from the previous years.
This is definitely one of the more relieving matches I've had. Making the last eight coming into this event, I would have never thought I got that far. Now here I am.
Slowly but surely, I'm getting into it and finding my form. I trained really hard coming into these tournaments.
I know I'll get some tough matches and it will allow me to get used to the Australian summer coming from the European winter, both of which will be helpful with my preparation for the Australian Open.
I don't really have anything to lose. Making the last eight coming into this event, I would have never thought I could get that far.
I just came out here the other day. I could already feel the atmosphere coming from the previous years. You don't know how good it feels. This surface, this stadium has been so good for me.
I've played a lot of tennis this week and I'm not used to that.
I served very well in the first set, I held my serve and that was key just like yesterday. I won with my heart today. Winning the tiebreak gave me confidence.
I've been trying to work on my whole game, baseline and serve. You have to have a serve to be able to survive today and we'll see if I can bring it on.
