　　Q: Do you think Roger Federer and Nadal got too much attention? And do you think that’s the reason you haven’t got that many sponsors?

　　A: I think if I were an American, I may have got more sponsors. And it’s natural that sponsors put their attention on players with high rankings.

　　Q: You play many tournaments. Some are won, and some are lost. How do you adjust after you lose in one tournament?

　　A: I have played 26 tournaments this year, and ten of them are not good. But I made top ten and achieved good result. If I were out in the first round in one tournament, that also means that you have more time to prepare for the next one. That’s why I don’t hate to play with Federer in the first round.

　　Q: You are going to play Davis Cup next week against the US. They got good players like Roddick and Blake. What do you and your partner Safin think about the strong competition?

　　A: We will play Davis Cup in Moscow on clay court. But our opponent isn’t that good on clay. Safin does play well on clay. So I think we have the opportunity to win in our country. Of course, there is pressure to play in front of my countrymen and it will be a tough game. But I don’t care.

　　Q: what is your target this season?

　　A: I did well in the US Open, and that’s the reason that I have the opportunity to go to Shanghai for the Masters’ Cup. I’m now the top ten player, but I still got two tournaments this year, including Shanghai. If I can keep doing well, I think I can reach top right.
