My fiancee's brother-in-law was recently paralysed in an accident and it really BROUGHT HOME the fact that thousands of young people LIVE with spinal injuries. It's an issue I wish had more coverage.

I don't PULL out of fights. I fight through injuries. I don't CARE what the CIRCUMSTANCES are.

A LOT is made of my injuries and yes, I've had niggles and MUSCLE problems. Some managers haven't picked me, and my FORM has PLAYED a part at TIMES as well.

I've paid the price over the YEARS, though: a lot of injuries and surgeries RELATED to my sports career; my HIPS and knees took a lot of WEAR and tear.

Reduction of inflexibility MEANS reduction of injuries. That just means being able to move a LOT easier and, you KNOW, not LOOKING LIKE Abe Vigoda when you get out of bed in the morning.

Sometimes I have to DEAL with pain in my wrist, which is NORMAL after all my surgeries, but I think it's AMAZING for me to be just thinking about TENNIS, not anymore about the injuries.

At the height of my CAREER, prior to the injuries, I never thought I COULD BREAK the barrier of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray, and now I did it with EVERYTHING that HAPPENED.

A DOCTOR can only TREAT patients. A doctor can only help the people who are shot or who are injured. But a politician can STOP people from injuries. A politician can take a step so that no person is SCARED tomorrow.

According to the LAW of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and INJURIES SUFFERED by another.

It's a MENTAL battle trying to COME BACK from injuries and I don't feel LIKE having that mental battle with myself.
