I'm an outside chance at Roland Garros but my focus is really on Wimbledon where it is realistically between me and Roger Federer to win.
I feel like when I'm match tough and match hard and played a lot of matches I got that competitive winning spirit going and I can get on some rolls like I did last year. I won San Jose, Indian Wells and made the semifinals in Miami so it can happen for me.
I'd much rather win in three or four sets than go the distance all the time; I seem to put everyone through the wringer quite a bit.
Maybe I have to work a bit harder on clay. It's a challenge and I've always liked challenges. Whether I will ever win the French and master playing on clay, who knows? But I'll give it a shot.
I was lucky enough to win the Davis Cup in my first year in 1999. I won my first slam at the U.S. Open in 2001 and became world No. 1 later that year. By the age of 20, I'd done it all.
When I was a kid in Adelaide, I dreamed of becoming No. 1 in the world, winning a grand slam and the Davis Cup for Australia.
That's when you've got to grit your teeth and hang in there and try and find a way to win when you're not playing your best tennis - that's what I can be proud of
Momentum changes so much and I think on days like today, when it's so hot out there on court, you know once you start getting down on yourself, you can just snowball. When you're positive out there, it's a lot easier to play good tennis and win lots of games in a row.
I didn't feel my ribs were affected by my serving but the first round is always tough and it was good to get the win under my belt. It was a good hit without wasting a lot of energy.
There aren't going to be any easy matches, but it would be great to win here. I still have three matches away from there.
My focus is on winning this tournament. I'm trying to get points and get my ranking up a little bit.
Nine times out of 10, I think, if you're going to win the tournament, you're going to have to come up against Federer at some stage at the moment. It's just a matter of getting through your matches.
Nine times out of 10, if you're going to win the tournament, you're going to have to come up against Federer at some stage, ... It's not something you focus on. ... I just want to get the (next) win on the board.
Anytime you're playing in a final you want to win any kind of tournament on a Sunday. It's always nice to be in those championship matches.
Then he hit some cold winners and flattened some out. He just goes for it and stepped it up when he had to.
This beats the hell out of winning the U.S.Open and Wimbledon.
It's been fantastic winning four titles here, but it's not something I thought about a lot.
It's a matter of focusing on what you have to do. There's balls going everywhere and papers were flying round. The person who is able to keep his focus will win the match.
He came out swinging early. Once I got a feel for the match, I was in control.
I'm very happy to get away with the win that I got and be in the locker room after a comfortable win and not waste a lot of energy, ... Physically, I felt great out there.
I still felt like there was a lot of areas of my game that weren't quite clicking today. It was more a matter of trying to find a way to win today and get in the locker room and look forward to the next round.
It was tough conditions out there today, ... The wind was swirling and Taylor's never going to give you the match. He's a tough competitor and I really had to earn it. We played some tough tennis and I'm just happy to get through.
I like to win and I put in a lot to do that but the quality of life in and outside tennis are at least as important,
I'm extremely disappointed as I have always enjoyed playing the event and had a great time in Shanghai in 2002, winning the event and maintaining my year-end world number 1 status.
