My Aim Over The Next Few Months

I Have Two Lives, And All The Problems I Might Have, I Feel Like I Drop Them Once I Step On To The Match Court.

The Problem Is Not The Claycourt. The Problem Is, You Know, Rather Something To Do With The Conditions On Center Court. Because I've Played Well On Suzanne Lenglen, On The Other Courts. But The Chatrier Court Is Really, Really Big, And I Just Haven't Had Enough Play On It. Maybe I Come Here Next Year And Play A Week On This Court, If I Can, If The French Federation Lets Me. We'll See. I've Been Playing Well In Other Tournaments, In Davis Cup On Clay. So For Me It's Not The Surface, It's Rather Maybe The Court.

I'm Not Angry. As An Athlete ... You Should Be Open To Criticism, And You're Allowed To Be Criticized, Because Not Everybody Has The Same Opinion, Not Everybody Likes The Same Players. The Rankings Are Quite Volatile: Today You're 'great,' Tomorrow You're 'not,' But Then You're 'great' Again. It Makes For Great Stories. Now, I Always Look At The Long Term And By Doing That, Obviously, I Can Stay Calm Through The Storm.

I Enjoyed The Position I Was In As A Tennis Player. I Was To Blame When I Lost. I Was To Blame When I Won. And I Really Like That, Because I Played Soccer A Lot Too, And I Couldn't Stand It When I Had To Blame It On The Goalkeeper.

You Have To Believe In The Long Term Plan You Have But You Need The Short Term Goals To Motivate And Inspire You.
