I don't think I've changed very much. I think I'm the same kid that I was when I got here. When I came here all I wanted to do was win games.

That's all I'm worried about this year.

I haven't had a cramp since '99. That was my only time, in Davis Cup, when I was panicky. I was young. I'm very proud of that. Never pulled out. Never had cramps.
