Every week, it's always something memorable.
I can remember watching Federer win Grand Slams on TV when I was a kid trying to put myself in his shoes.
I learned to absolutely love the feeling of winning a tough match on a tough point or figuring out how to come back when I was down and win ugly. Walking off the court with a W just made me so happy.
In the head of the moment after losing a game, I lost the control of my emotions and hit the ball with an intention of hitting out of the court. Unfortunately and absolutely unintentionally I hit Mr. Arnaud Gabas, the chair umpire.
If I commit to pros, I really got to stick to it, and I think it was a good decision.
For me, it's more important to bring my level up and make sure that I can compete against guys in the top 100 and top 50 instead of maybe being 120 or 130 and not being able to compete with those guys.
I remember hitting the ball, and I didn't even realise where it went, and then I turned over, and I see the official bending down holding his eye.
Every win that I've been going through, it's been securing anyone's doubts or even my own doubts about whether I belong with these guys, playing these high-level tournaments.
Those five Rogers Cup matches were physically tough, and there were late nights, up until 2 or 3 A.M. - how could I fall to sleep after beating some of my heroes?
I'm fit, but I need to get even more fit to compete with these guys every week.
I learned a lot from observing Wayne at the Rogers Cup. He was offered a cart across the grounds, but he wouldn't take it; he walked and stopped and signed autographs for people, and I thought that was amazing.
Unfortunately, I had to pull out of Vancouver. I'm really sorry; I didn't expect to go this far in Rogers Cup, and I just wanted to say, just apologize.
I learned that deep within myself, if I fight to the end, I can always find a way to win.
I live to be in these matches.
I'm trying to be a Leafs fan, but... Hopefully, in a couple of years, they might be good.
I've kind of seen that I'm capable to push these guys.
Maybe the serve is getting bigger.
Sascha is an unbelievable player; he's going to be a champion. Hopefully, I can get there one day. Hopefully, I can get to his level. I mean, he's still better than me. But I'll keep working hard, and hopefully we could start a little bit of a rivalry.
