"Ok,this year started very bad for my game,we improved a littl but there were many ups and downs and at the end of the year,especially the last 3 years I got a better level,I finished the year with good sensations and I am training hard to start the best way I can next year,I hope I can have the continuity of the good feeling I had this ending of the year.I am really confident that I can start well the year.I have been training a lo and the feeeling sI have are the right ones,good enough to feel confident abt next year.
The truth is when u come from a season where u didn´t play that well and then u start to improve..that makes u feel better and more willing to succeed,that is exactly where I am,I have good motivation.Many ppl have talked abt my "bad year" but at the end I am number 5 of the world,so no one should make so much drama abt this..it was not a good year but I am still here.

Abt next year,well I feel very motivated to play in the Olympic games as u all know,I couldn´t attend the previous ones so we need to put that event in the calendar of the year.It was very painful to miss those ones..at to be honest,as I started this year,I was very far from being in the right level to be in Rio next year...so I have many plans to improve before going there.If I have the chance,I will love to compete in doubles in mixed and singles..we have to take advantage of being there at the Olympic games.I don´t know who I am going to play with in mixed and doubles we have to wait.

My goal first next year is to be competitive to try to get my level back and to train as much as I can.I do not know what will happen,if I will win another GS or tournament,that is something just time will have the answer...all I can do is to work hard and try to do my best.I want to continue enjoying training.

Abt AO 2016,I will go there with the same approach as every year,to try to do the best and I cannot see it in any other way..
I cannot predict the future,s I donpt know if Djok will continue with the same level and if he does,then we will congratulate him,I think Federer,Murray,Ferrer will also be there at the top next year and I hope I could be there with them on the top...if Djok is reachable or not,we will see during the year...

he just needs Barcelona, Rome, and RG (Paris). and then just ride into the sunset.

nothing else matters.

these 3 titles takes care of everything in 2016. they will put him at a whole new other level that cannot ever be equaled or matched.


but to do that he has to embrace clay. and he has to skip Miami which is he is not willing to do.

Hi everyone!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I hope you and your families have the best of health and fortune in the coming year.

I've had a tough battle concerning my health the last month or so, so I can safely say how I've taken my health for granted.

But finally with the correct diagnosis, I'm improving, but not before being in a lot of pain and in and out of the hospital and many doctor visits.

I still will probably need to have some surgery for another problem found, but it's no emergency at the moment.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well, and are happy in your lives. 
The 2016 tennis season will be upon us soon with all the familiar faces and hopefully some new ones.

Take care, and as always,

Best Regards,
masterclass

You think he should retire in 2016?

I was just thinking that what a way to ride into the sunset after having taken his 10th RG crown.


that of course assumes that he wants to retire after his 10th RG.


he just has to fix his fitness and he can start winning titles again. and he can play for another 2-3 more years if he wants to.
