The media has dubbed me as someone who can only get up for the big tournaments, and that is not who I want to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have to work harder than what I am now to make sure that I stay on top of this and stay on top of the world and be competitive in major championships.
I can be a tennis player, a golf player, and even a soccer player.
I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get.
I've never seen anybody win the game in the media. But at the same time, I understand what it could do for you, if you wanted to be someone who talks a lot.
It's very stressful being the No. 1 player in the world. You're in the limelight a lot. You've got more things to do when you get to tournaments, more things to do off weeks. But I wouldn't change it in any way because this is exactly where I want to be. I want to try and stay here as long as I can while I can because nothing beats this feeling.
I hate to play a tournament in which I'm not contending. It's just not any fun for me.
It is just a crazy life as a sportsman. My daughter, Sam, wants to go into tennis, and I tell her, 'No, you don't want to go into professional sport.'
I'm the type of player I am.
It's important to understand that you have to dedicate time to your sponsors, to have relationships with the people and the media, but it is also hard when you are first coming up and your primary focus is on tennis.
It is for me to realise my value and put in the effort to win big tournaments.
