Twenty days ago my physio asked me if I was if I never think that I can win a Grand Slam or be in final of Grand Slam, and I said no.
I'm not the first player to have their home Grand Slam and not perform. There have been a few Australians and French players, you name it. It's a tough thing. But it is one of those things. Would I rather have a Grand Slam in my country than not? I would.
It's not easy getting to a Grand Slam final.
I'm not that good a player, and I'll be the first to admit that. I might be a three or four grand-slam winner; I might be a two grand-slam winner, I don't know.
Everyone is fighting like crazy because it's the last Grand Slam. When you play the Grand Slams, you just have to give everything you have.
This is a dream from when I was kid. I'm playing tennis almost 18 years, and of course everybody's dream is to play the final of a Grand Slam.
I believe I have quality, and that's why I won a grand slam, so I know I can do it again.
I've been there, done that. I know what the emotions are getting into your first Grand Slam final.
Once you move into the second week of a Grand Slam, you know you are getting closer to playing on some of the world's biggest courts.
I obviously want to win a grand slam, but whatever I do, however long I play, I hope I sustain a really long career, a healthy one, just a pretty consistent career. I obviously want to win a grand slam.
I'd like to win the Masters and the PGA and complete the career Grand Slam.
He's going for the home run, I'm going for the grand slam. If he gets a lot of strikeouts, I'm getting a shutout. I just have that positivity, that mentality that I can conquer whatever he gives out.
Those are the titles you play for, so I'd like to have a Grand Slam title in my life, and I'll do my best to do it.
Because I've won one Grand Slam title, I feel like I have a good chance to win more.
Of course it's one of my goals to win another grand slam. Wimbledon was great - so if it's Wimbledon again, that's fine - but I think I have the game to win the other grand slams as well.
