Now I'm feeling really good. I just want to keep it going as long as I can now because I'm feeling physically fit and mentally very well.
At the moment I'm feeling very good out there. I'm not feeling tired. I'm moving really well. That makes all the difference in the world.
You lose some, you win some. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Always the best preparation for playing at Wimbledon is playing on the clay and getting fit. That really does help your grass court game.
I think that over the years people grew to understand what I stood for. They knew what type of player I was. I think they respected me for that.
I felt that I did have the crowd behind me. That obviously helps a lot.
I'm really focused on what I'm doing right here, right now. For me there's no point in looking any further. I can look forward tomorrow.
The serve really is the key to my game.
I'm really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that's really important.
I'm always being realistic.
If I'm going to be out there, I want to be in the top 10 and really have a chance of winning a Grand Slam.
As years go by, chances of winning here are getting slimmer. That's just a matter of fact. It does get tougher, but it's possible, there's a tiny little chance.
A good thing is I've been playing tennis I think every day for the last two months. I really haven't had a day off. I've been doing things that I did used to do.
I've been on the tour for many, many years. It's time for me to go now, before it's too late.
