I still like sweets and sometimes treat myself but not often. I try to keep an eye on it, but it's not like I'm desperate to go and eat a whole chocolate cake! I do like a bit of vanilla ice cream, though.

I couldn't imagine myself retiring from a match.

I'm not the sort of person who would want to just lie on the sofa watching TV.

I think it's a long-time process when you are trying to get fitter and fitter.

I think the U.S. Open just doesn't suit my personality. I'm more of a calm person. There, it's noisy all day, cars are everywhere, and it takes so long to get to the site. I know that those things shouldn't matter when you're playing, but I just find they drain your energy.

I don't pretend to be any different just because I win tennis matches, so hopefully brands appreciate my approach and my likeability, because it's who I am.

I'm not someone who enjoys being recognised too much.

I don't want to change; I just want to be like everyone else. I'm nothing special.

Quiet is definitely not how I would describe New York, but if I go outside of the front door, I see the beautiful Central Park, so it's a nice place to be. And I have a very quiet room, which helps!

Sometimes I put too much pressure on my back.

I have six racquets and usually two pairs of tennis shoes with me. Most of the time, the shoes can last two or three weeks if I'm playing all the week. I'm not the kind of player who slides a lot, so I just need one extra pair in my bag.

One thing I always do is listen to my iPod. I listen to whatever is kind of new on the radio, I am always downloading stuff.

My dream is to have a medal from the Olympic Games, and I will do my best to have it.

The most important thing is definitely success on the tennis court. I know that if I win matches, everything else will fall into place, and the money and sponsors will follow.

I'm going to try to put less pressure on myself, but I know how easy it is to say that rather than to feel it, but that's how it is.

Like every normal working person, you get tired and need time out.

Living out of a bag, in hotels, packing, unpacking, travelling, the hours of flying, sometimes the credit card doesn't work at the hotel, or the room isn't ready - I'm lucky to have a team around to help me.

Maybe sometimes I don't look like that I'm really enjoying being on the court and playing tennis, but inside, I'm really enjoying it.

I think English is very important for tennis players. To be on the tour, it's much more easier if you speak English. So that's why I knew that I have to improve my English.

Even in the heat, I'm able to be there and run and fight, no matter what is happening.
