That result at the French was a big break for me. I had been playing quite well up until that point but nobody really expected me to do well on clay - it was my worst surface. I had had some success on the clay but I was a set and a break up in the semi-final against Jausovec and maybe the enormity of the occasion got to me.

It is very hard for me to switch from clay to grass.

I'm a playmaker. I'm always attacking the rim and have somewhat of a reckless style. I try to be everywhere at once.

It's exciting to have a role in anything that's Claymation, just because you're always intrigued by what a clay wizard version of yourself would be.

I'll practice as good as I can, but I know that I play even better, with the qualities I have - leadership, my ability to make something happen in games, winning.

As long as you can find a place to develop as an all-round player, then you're doing great.

I've always been an unselfish guy, and that's the only way I know how to play on the court and I try to play to the maximum of my ability - not only for myself but for my teammates.

I don't think, as a player, I have a weakness on the field. I've done a great job of becoming good at everything, so I think that's what separates me.

Whatever I lack in size and strength and speed, I kind of make up for in being grittier. When it comes to something like basketball I'm definitely not the best guy on the court, but I love elbowing and pushing people out or boxing them out.

What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.
