I'm Really, Really Emotional.

I Am Afraid Of A Lot Of Things. A Dog. I Could Be Afraid Of A Dog That's Upset, For Example. And On The Tennis Courts, Maybe On The Outside I Look Fearless, But On The Inside, I'm Scared. There's Not One Player In The World Who Isn't Nervous Before Matches. Especially Important Matches.

I Play Because I Have Fun, If I Don't Have Fun On The Court, There Is Something Wrong. I Am Just A 19 Year Old Boy That Likes To Do What He Likes, Nothing Else.

Two Weeks Ago, I Was In A Fantastic Situation, Winning At Roland Garros. Now, Losing In The First Round, It's Tough. The Tour Continues. Life Continues. This Is A Sport Of Victories, Not A Sport Of Losses. Nobody Remembers The Losses. I Don't Want To Remember The Loss.

I Play Each Point Like My Life Depends On It.

I Was Passionate About Soccer. I Still Am. Odd, Though - Playing Soccer Always Made Me Much More Anxious Than Playing Tennis. On Soccer Days, I'd Be Out Of Bed By 6 In The Morning, All Nervous. But I Was Always Calm When It Was Time For A Tennis Match. I Still Don't Know Why.
