The Crowds Are Very Important

My Aim Over The Next Few Months Is That I Have A Lot Of Points To Defend In Miami And Hamburg, After That I Can Set My Sights On No. 1.

The Nicer The Point, The More -- The Better I Feel, The More Excited I Get. But I Never Play That My Opponent Looks Stupid. I Think That Is Wrong. I Have Too Much Respect For Every Opponent I Play.

The More I Lose, The More They Believe They Can Beat Me. But Believing Is Not Enough, You Still Have To Beat Me.

The Week Before The (us Open) I Gave A Few Interviews For Cnn, Usa Network, New York Times, Usa Today And Sports Illustrated Which Had Been Arranged Beforehand. The Reason For Giving These Interviews Is Not Only Because Working With The Media Is Just Part Of The Job, It Is Much More My Desire To Contribute To The Promotion Of Tennis In The U.s.

I Used To Do A Lot Of Video Analysis Early On, But More For Pleasure And Looking At My Own Technique.
