You say the best way to 'force' you into action is when somebody tells you: "You can't do it!" What is your way to deal with situations in which some things don't go in the direction you want them to?That’s an interesting question. You definitely have to be mentally strong in this situation. Staying positive is not always easy, but it’s the only solution. You just have to always believe in yourself, and that you will achieve your goals in the end. The journey is never going to be easy, but it’s about how you deal with your setbacks and continue on your path. It’s important not to turn your losses into defeats.

Do you have any special mode of packing your suitcases? Without what item you would never go on a trip and you panic when you realise that you forgot to put it in your suitcase?The most important things for me are my iPod, phone and a good book. I usually leave packing until the last minute so there is never much time to be very methodical about it! But I’ve packed so many times before that I have a good system in place.

You are the new face for Rolex watches. What is the meaning of time for you? Do you have an impression that it goes by too fast?For sure! I feel like I’m still very young and my career is at the beginning, but it’s amazing to think that I played the junior Wimbledon final five years ago! And now I see these young players coming up, it definitely makes you realise that time goes by very quickly.
