What would you think about a musical based on your life and would you take part in it?

Mar

RN:
Didn't come to my mind. Not sure it would be an interesting topic.

You were saying that late night matches meant your sleep patterns were disrupted. How much sleep do you prefer to have when you are in competition?
Angela, UK

RN:
8-9 hours

Did you attend many classical concerts growing up (since your grandfather was an orchestra conductor)?
Robin

RN:
Not that much. I did go to see Placido Domingo the day before I went to Montreal and I really liked it.

Can you enjoy the crowd cheering for you, or are you too focused on the match? Also, which tournament has the craziest fans?
Leslie, US

RN:
I sure do. It is very important to have the crowds supporting. To the second question probably NYC but in a good positive way!

How much do your personal feelings against your opponents affect your game?
Eva, Minneapolis

RN:
IT is hard to play either a friend or someone you like less...

Thank you for stopping to sign autographs on Monday. What would you like your fans to do to pump you up and help you win this tournament?
Alma, NY

RN:
It's going to have to be next year.

Having already won six grand slams, do you think you may one day be able to reach the record set by Roger Federer (whichever number that ends up being)?
Paul

RN:
I am only thinking on my next tournament to be honest.

Could you explain a bit what the player council discusses? Is it only about the players (schedules) or also about fans, tickets etc?
Chloe

RN:
Those are internal discussions and I prefer not to talk about it for obvious reasons of loyalty to the people meeting there.

Have you ever hit yourself in the head with your forehand follow-through? It looks like you barely miss smacking yourself every time!
Lauren, Canada

RN:
You are right... but I never did.
