And, honestly, tennis is such a tough sport as it is, it's only you on court, so you've got to deal with a lot of different pressures and expectations and when things aren't going well.

Slowly from just touching the ball I got to making the ball and eventually hitting a decent defensive shot. Because I don't have a lot of weapons I have to use my speed.

Tennis is a tough sport - a long year, a lot of matches, a lot of travelling. It's not easy so being mentally tough is a big attribute. It doesn't come easy, you have to work on it.

You can't look in the future and can't dwell on the past. It's all about the present and what you do each day.

My long-term goal is to get as high as possible in the rankings, and to improve my game each day. If I am able to do that, my ranking should get better and better.

It would be incredibly special playing at Wimbledon.

I love Australia. I love coming here, I love playing here and I love the support. It's my passion to hopefully one day be able to represent the green and gold. That's the ultimate goal.

Growing up not being the biggest guy around, you learn different ways of playing tennis. I've learned to adapt.

You have to try and take care of your service games and not get into those awkward sudden-death deuces that can only get you into trouble.

Obviously, playing in front of your home crowds really does a lot for your level.
