To win Grand Slams you have to be in the right frame of mind, the right physical shape.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know it's not the most important thing for me to win the most Grand Slams and be remembered in this world. I certainly don't have to win little tournaments here, there and everywhere, I don't have to win at all. Although I do want to.
It's always good to get a smaller tournament under your belt so that by the time you get to the Slams, you have a lot of experience.
You want to try and win as many slams as possible in your career. As a tennis player, that's what we always dream of as a kid, wanting to play slams, wanting to win them.
I want to play my best tennis at the Grand Slams.
Winning a Grand Slam changes everything. There is so much off-court stuff to deal with. And there are expectations of keeping it going that make it tough.
Everybody believes they can win now. That's why there are so many upsets in the Grand Slams.
A final of a grand slam is always a matter of details. Maybe a point here, a point there will make the difference. Maybe someone who is a bit more gutsy than the other player, someone who is having a better day than the others.
I never expected to win a Grand Slam because, for me, I was not good enough to beat those guys.
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.
Winning a Grand Slam is not something I'll think about.
