When I was young, I associated playing tennis with being part of historic moments, being part of these epic battles and coming out victorious, having those trophy moments. That, for me, is what I saw and aspired to.
There is nothing like playing at Wimbledon; you can feel the footprints of the legends of the game-men and women-that have graced those courts.
In tennis it's easy to get greedy - and one Grand Slam doesn't feel enough any more.
The proudest thing I have ever done was to win the singles, doubles, and mixed doubles at Wimbledon.
I've always said that winning a Grand Slam title is what is most important.
If I had to choose between a third Wimbledon title and the number one ranking, I would choose Wimbledon. The ranking just shows how you're doing in the year, so I think the Slams are first, and it shows in the number anyway.
I can play on grass - when I won Junior Wimbledon, that was an unbelievable feeling, I could not believe that I had won the tournament, as Wimbledon is like the holy place of tennis.
One of the thrills of playing at the top tennis centres of the world is to see the Indian flag go up whenever I'm participating in these events. That's enough motivation for any Indian who has the opportunity to perform at these tournaments.
I was lucky enough to win the Davis Cup in my first year in 1999. I won my first slam at the U.S. Open in 2001 and became world No. 1 later that year. By the age of 20, I'd done it all.
I remember when I was younger taking more pride in Wimbledon than the French. That and the U.S. Open - they were the ones I wanted to win.
I'm happy that once again I see myself winning a Grand Slam, something that is so hard to do.
There are not a lot of people in the world that get to say they get to walk through the gates of Wimbledon and play on Centre Court. It's pretty phenomenal, and we're very lucky to live this life that we do.
Winning two Wimbledons is very nice, no matter what.
