We have a long season ahead of us ... We need to pace ourselves. I've suggested to Mahesh that we play Queens, Wimbledon, the Olympics and Davis Cup. I think India should be represented by its best team at the Olympics. Hesh and I have the record, in the Grand Slams and Davis Cup.

Comparing to last year, I’m not playing Davis Cup finals, so I will have that extra week which will give me a bit more time to rest, a bit more time to prepare ... I’m not playing any official tournament before Australian Open. I’m playing a couple exhibition matches in Abu Dhabi, maybe some in Australi...
It is very disappointing for this to happen because we had made all our preparations for the Davis Cup tie and had even sent our full security plans to the ITF to keep them abreast of what we were doing
He can still win the Davis Cup next week so I hope he does that.
I'll try my best every day to try to win the Davis Cup for my country ... But I'm lucky, the team is not only myself. If I'm not in the right condition, the captain can choose another player.
Of course I am tired ... The season is very, very long. We know that. But tomorrow I will try to do my best. I will try to fight a lot. It is an important match here in the semifinals. And then I have to play another important event, the final of the Davis Cup.
There was less passion for the game because I am more tired than usual. The third set was a disaster and this has been a tough year but I will train hard for a month after the Davis Cup Final and be ready for the Australian Open and all of 2012. Jo is a very dangerous player and you have to do something...
I cannot pretend to be a tennis expert of Zivojinovic's calibre but I am a big tennis fan and my love for the game has been undiminished since I saw him play against (former Wimbledon champion) Pat Cash in the Davis Cup in Split 1987.
I only have two weeks and a half to practise after the Davis Cup to prepare for next season. That’s the problem.
It might have been the wrong decision to play the Davis Cup after the US Open because afterwards I was not fresh on the court, not feeling well, partly injured as well
