I've Realized I Can't Waste Any Moment

It Was Really Impossible To Break Through In Russia. We Couldn't Buy Any Balls. We Really Didn't Have Any Courts, No Rackets, Nothing. And No People To Practice With.

I'm Not Fighting With Myself. Oh, My God. That's How I Am. You Know, The Story Of The Hippo? The Hippo Comes To The Monkey And Said, Listen, I'm Not A Hippo. So, He Paint Himself Like A Zebra. He Said But He's Still A Hippo. He Said But Look At You, You're Painted Like A Zebra But You Are A Hippo. So Then He Goes, You Know, Like I Want Be A Little Parrot. So, He Put The Colours On Him And He Comes To The Monkey And Said But, Sorry, You Are A Hippo. So, In The End, You Know, He Comes And Said I'm Happy To Be A Hippo. This Is Who I Am. So, I Have To Be Who I Am And He's Happy Being A Hippo.

I've Felt It (shoulder Soreness) Since The First Day I Came, But More So Now. Yesterday In The Doubles I Felt Like I Couldn't Serve At All. I Had A Lot Of Pain. I Decided To Stop Because Without The Serve It Doesn't Make Any Sense. It's Better To Stop And Try To Recover. If You Play, You Play 100 Percent, Not To Suffer On The Court...hopefully I'll Be Ready For The Australian Open. I'll Ask For A Late Start And Try To Recover. I Can Playing Forehand, Backhand, Anything Except Serve.

I Think It's Difficult To Be No. 1. 'there's Too Much Attention, Too Much Expectation From Other People.

I Pass Through The Difficult Moments In Life, Really Difficult Times On Grass, During My Seven Years Of My Career. All Of A Sudden I Felt Comfortable.
