I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.

Winning or losing, it's always something special and something you'll remember, even more so when the match was as dramatic as it was today. It's even more memorable when I see my kids there with my wife and everything. That's what touched me the most, to be quite honest. The disappointment of the match itself went pretty quickly.

Previously I always thought it was just tactical and technique, but every match has become almost mental and physical - I try to push myself to move well. I try to push myself not to get upset and stay positive, and that's what my biggest improvement is over all those years. Under pressure I can see things very clear.

Sometimes I am a different character in different languages. I have different enjoyment from them. Sometimes different answers come out of me. Like, I didnt even know that about me. I get to know myself through different languages, actually.

I am thinking more and more about what I want to and can do after my days as an active athlete. Thoughts like family and marriage also cross my mind more and more often.

Tennis can be a very frustrating sport. There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it. You have to put in the hours because there is always something you can improve. [Y]ou have to put in a lot of sacrifice and effort for sometimes little reward but you have to know that, if you put in the right effort, the reward will come.

It's not so simple to just stay in the moment and trust your game and your strength that you can turn it around.

One should just be able to play a perfect game.

The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that's the beauty of it.

It's just unreal, I'm shocked myself. I've played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody.

When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.

In the locker room I was getting impatient to get on the court, I had to warm up several times.

I let the evening unfold. I'm the sort of guy who likes to sit in the chair and look at the wine glass.

It is always in my mind still that I can crush anybody. That's not an issue. But I think that is the same for most athletes. If you don't believe you can win tournaments anymore, then you can't do it.
