He (Roche) worked on my overall game with a special emphasis on the serve and volley.

I could add variation to my game, but I'm going to win matches only when I hit those winners. I enjoy hitting the ball as hard as I can. I enjoy taking risks. And I believe you always have to take risks.

He's like a throwback the way he can serve and volley. He puts shots away, and him and William (a sophomore), I've never had a 1 and 2 that talented, they're just so talented for being so young.

Not many people know, but my joints are extremely hypermobile, and that's why I'm more prone to injuries. That's why most of my major injuries were with the joints. I had a career-threatening wrist injury where picking up a fork to feed myself was a problem, and the thought of playing tennis again was so far from my mind.

Tennis is like, it gives you a lot of chances, but if you don't take those chances, it takes a lot of chances away from you. It's just the scoring pattern. We cannot dwell over a loss or a win for very long. We have no time to celebrate; we have no time to dwell; we have to move on. Wake up the next day and try and win the match.

I will play with anyone for my country. I may have my personal preferences, but such preferences have never come in the way of playing for India.
