It's not easy getting to a Grand Slam final.

I got to one Grand Slam final, and that's what you shoot for as a player.

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 am really proud of other things in my career: being in the top five, reaching the final of a grand slam twice. I'm actually even more proud of making it to the French Open final in 2010 than the previous year.
