Having spent some time at home with his wife, the 35-year-old returned to action at the Canada Masters this week. While happy to be back on the tour, he also stated that he had a good time with his wife and almost took his mind off the tennis circuit. “I had a lovely three months with my wife and it was quite challenging because it was very hot in Europe. For her it was not easy. I was there with her and we had a good time. She almost made me forget about the tour a little bit,” he said. “In a couple of years we're gonna be with kids and everything. Not too soon but, to be honest, I liked it. I really liked hanging around with my wife. It's not easy sometimes to go back on tour but I still love the game and I think I have a couple more years to enjoy it. It was not easy, first time it was not that easy to leave home,” he added.
