"I can not say I`m totally surprised by the way I play now. I worked a lot on my game and on this to make a step forward. I take the ball earlier, also I do much better volleys, compared with 10 years ago. When I was little I trained many volleys and this helps me now. It gives me a confidence that I can do well when I`m out at the net. Moreover my initial shock is well, my re-tours of serve are on a level and when you collect all these things, it is a pleasant image. I think overall I changed the dynamics of my game. Of course, an important factor for my good game is the fact that I kept myself from injuries and I kept my motivation, "said Federer.
