I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.
When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.
You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.
I'm a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.
