I Had A Unique Privilege

This Time Last Year I Would Have Said Federer Would Beat Sampras's Record. Now I'm Not So Sure. His Aura Has Gone. He's Not As Dominant As He Was, And Since I Beat Him In Australia He's Looked Frustrated. Players Are Beginning To Challenge Him Now, Especially Myself And Rafa. He's Got 12 Grand Slams To His Name And Maybe He Will Beat Sampras, But Now I'm Here It Will Be Tough For Him.

I Always Try To Show My Human Side To My Colleagues And To The Whole Circuit. More Than Anything Because We Are All On The Same Train, It Is Part Of Our Work.

I Understand That The Results I've Had In My Career, Or I'm Having Now, They Are Very Good. And That Gives Me Confidence, Of Course, But I Do Not Feel Invincible.

Each Year Represents New Challenges And Obstacles. You Have To Adjust.

My Strokes Just Weren't There.
