Some people get very confused about my game. They think it's better if the court is slow, because I have a good defence. But the faster it is, the better for me. My spin is more painful for my opponents, my aggressive game works better.

My serve can get better, for sure. It's not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.

I have been learning English on the road since I started when I was 15, so it is a slow process but making some progress. Now I think I am much more comfortable with my English. However, it is difficult, still, when I speak about something that is not tennis.

I only ever run when there's some point to it - say, if it's in a game of tennis.

We'll try and be very aggressive, we'll try and speed up and change gears, and we'll see who's going to win.

To be honest, I haven't felt at my best since this tournament began. I didn't feel good with the court or the balls. But those are excuses. You have to accept when you don't play well and somebody else does.
