“No plans to retire yet. I don’t have a definite date even though that would help to make things easier to plan.

“The Australian Open is obviously a big goal for me. And after that it’s going to be a long, tough year.

“So I’m happy I’m feeling fine physically and in good shape and of course, like I say so many times I hope I’m still on tour for a while.”

The 35-year old plans to add an Olympic gold in the singles to complete a career clean sweep of Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open and Davis Cup titles. He would join Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi as the only figures to achieve such a feat in the Tennis.
