Final at the Australian Open, the title in New York, quarterfinal at Roland Garros. My results at this year’s three Grand Slams are really a dream. However, one thing is for sure: the last weeks have been quite exhausting, that’s why I am even happier with my success in Paris.

I am back! Here is my first update from Paris. The days after my US Open victory have been intensive. Sleeping, relaxing, shutting down – that’s what was important after returning from the US. I had two small parties, I really enjoyed the time with my family after my first Grand Slam victory.

It was the shortest night of my life. As a kid I was dreaming of this Grand Slam victory, in New York my dream came true. Years of hard and strenuous work, doubts and positive emotions.

After winning the match point against Alexander Zverev the entire load came off my shoulders.

This is my second blog entry for my new homepage – and I am really happy that I can write it in New York.

First of all thank you very much! The fans really like my new “internet home“, thousands of clicks in the first couple of days, a lot of positive feedback and emails. It’s a lot of fun.
