It would have been better if I had won, but reaching the final was perfect.
When I'm in Miami I like to go and watch basketball, the Miami Heat.
I play fantasy basketball and fantasy football, soccer.
This year its just about winning the big matches because if youre going to get into the top 20 then youve got to do well at the Masters Series and the grand slams. I dont have any ranking points to defend for the first few months of the year so if I do well over the next few weeks then Ive got a chance of doing it.
I try to anticipate the ball well. That's something that's helped me since when I was a kid. Just learning to anticipate and read the game well. That's helped me. When I moved over to Spain and I was 15 I was playing with big guys who were 22 years to 28 years old and I was 15 so I couldn't beat them with power. I had to beat them with touch shots and variety and anticipation and all of those things. I learned a lot when I was over there.

I've never felt nervous in front of big crowds and in big stadiums.
If you want a player to serve and volley more, you need to teach them to do that more, how to move at the net.
I don't go out of my way to get noticed. When I'm in Scotland it's tough, because loads of people come up to me. They're always really polite. It's nice, it's fun and good to speak to people who aren't involved in tennis, but some have this habit of just staring at me and that makes me really self-conscious. I'd rather they came up and said hello.
Abide in Jesus, the sinless One - which means, give up all of self and its life, and dwell in God's will and rest in His strength. This is what brings the power that does not commit sin.
The coming revival must begin with a great revival of prayer. It is in the closet, with the door shut, that the sound of abundance of rain will first be heard. An increase of secret prayer with ministers will be the sure harbinger of blessing.
The one thing He commands us as His branches is to bear fruit. Let us live to bless others, to testify of the life and the love there is in Jesus. Let us in faith and obedience give our whole life to that which Jesus chose us for and appointed us to-fruit-bearing.
When we pray for the Spirit's help ... we will simply fall down at the Lord's feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes from His love.
While others still slept, He went away to pray and to renew His strength in communion with His Father. He had need of this, otherwise He would not have been ready for the new day. The holy work of delivering souls demands constant renewal through fellowship with God.
Abiding fully means praying much.
I proved that I can win the Grand Slams. I proved that I can last four and a half hours and come out on top against one of the strongest guys physically that tennis had probably seen especially on this surface. So they would probably be the things that I would say I have learned tonight: To not doubt myself physically and mentally from now on.
Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.
To be honest, I think bananas are a pathetic fruit.
You are always talking about yourself and tennis and how you are feeling. I try to avoid it when I don't have to.
Obviously you try to keep as much of your private life as private as you can.
Learn to worship God as the God who does wonders, who wishes to prove in you that He can do something supernatural and divine.
Jesus has no tenderness toward anything that is ultimately going to ruin a man in service to Him. If God brings to your mind a vese which hurts you, you may be sure that there is something He wants to hurt.
