You played really high-level all week and you were in control throughout most of your matches this week, only losing two sets. What did you do effectively this week to make this breakthrough and win the title?Well I came from Beijing and didn’t feel too good the first couple of days I was here but as I passed through the first few rounds I was feeling much better, playing very well and enjoying the atmosphere here and the good weather.Did you have a hard time adjusting from your trip to Beijing?It was hard, but I had a bye first round and in the second round Troicki retired against me so that was a little bit of a relief because I had another day to practice and to adjust, so that was a big help.

This week last year you were ranked outside the Top 100 and lost in the 1st RD of qualifying at the US Open. What has changed since then and how great does it feel going into the US Open to make your first main draw appearance as one of the Top 30 seeds and an ATP title holder?It feels really good and I know that I practiced really well at the beginning of the year and I had really good wins and good runs in the summer. Now I’m going into the US Open with big confidence and I hope I’m going to play very well there. Of course, I have a lot of room to improve more and I hope I’m going to be even better next year.So where can you improve? What should we be looking for?Mostly I think I’m going to get much stronger physically as I stop growing (upwards) and now I can grow wider (laughing). I think that’s going to help a lot. As you become stronger your shots become more consistent and your serve gets better. So I think that’s going to be a big improvement in the next few years.How will you change your diet to bulk up?Steaks!grow wider ,但是真的不觉得你wide牛排大家爱。。。不过难道你以前瘦是因为没肉吃?

What hobbies, interests do you have away from tennis?Mostly, when I have free time, I got to my hometown and spend time with my family as the year is very long and I need some time off over there. Of course I go out with my friends, my cousins and I relax and have a good time there.终于不说他的三级跳远和跳高了。。

Family seems important to you, you had your brother here. Even though it was 3am (in Croatia), your family back home was pretty interested in what was going on.Well I think that this night was the easiest one for them because they were at least watching it on the TV. The last two nights when I played my matches they were just following the scores on the Internet, and I know that’s very tough to just watch the numbers rolling. They were really big support and they’re always there, even in the bad times, they raise me a little bit. I’m really thankful that my brother could come here, as a brother and a friend, so it’s a big help.家里人也只能守板子而已。。感动的。。

Did your family get you going in tennis? How did you get started?My father wanted each of us to play sport; I was at a good age to play tennis so I started to play and loved it. In the next couple of years I was showing at tournaments that I was really talented and that I was one of the best in the generation.Are you doing anything special to celebrate this win? Buying a car?Not right now (laughing), I’m just going to focus on the US Open coming in a couple of days. I hope I’m going to get ready for it and relax a little bit too to get going again.乖!好好打美网!
