I was at home in Berlin and had put his feet up and not do anything. Now I'm back in preparation for the new season, which goes with us from January to November, the all year round.

Currently, pre-season and I enjoy challenges, sometimes four or more weeks to exercise continuously to correct Černý is the chance to lay the cornerstone and acquire new things.
What have you learned new?
I discovered rock climbing for me. Was here in Berlin at the climbing gym. Although I have animal muscle, but it was great. To overcome fear, to rise into the air and to reach its limits.
Are there any other sports that you leave?
I like hockey for looking at, because I really like the dynamics and action. I love to go to Florida for deep sea fishing. This relaxes me in the head and makes really great fun. I will let the fish caught again. And, in my career I really want to learn to ski. It is now too dangerous for injury reasons.

Sure, the polar bear.
Why the?
I like the game and I am Constantin Braun went into a class because you look a little more closely, of course, on the sport, I can not wait forever with.
Why do you train not only in Berlin, you can not play tennis?
But. But I have found in Florida in the Nick Bollettieri Academy-the perfect environment for me. I have as many different training partner that I would not be here.
What is lacking in German tennis to the very top set in the world rankings sometimes longer?
We are all still relatively young. Experience us forward with every game. We're getting better every year, and I personally prefer, hochzustürmen as suddenly and then immediately lie down a meteoric crash.

just slipped out of the top 30 in the world rankings. The next goal is once the Top 20
And in the more distant future?
still dream of one day, the world No. 1 to be. Nothing has changed since London and of course the desire for an Olympic medal has been added, which I unfortunately missed in August so scarce. I will make it up in Rio 2016 necessarily because I want to wear the medal for my country around the neck.
4th in London, you still angry?
Sure, if one was so close to it. It was just a great experience that has made feel like Rio. And since I'll get my medal.

Pack your suitcase. I hate the bags in and unpack. Because of the jet lag is a breeze.
Have you given a certain secret recipe?
Yes, a lot of sleep on the plane. . Blindfold on, hood over his head, earplugs in and nod off, now I'm a professional and it is good for me
If you train in the U.S., then how do you keep contact with the home?
Over the Internet.

That makes me very sad, it's really terrible things happened, most recently at the Alexanderplatz. But I do not fear when I return home. I love this city, she has such beautiful places, and when I'm here, I'm trying again and again to discover new parts of the city.
Do you already have plans for the time after your career?
No. It can happen so much in life. I live more in the now. Watch step by step and I will of course continue to play tennis for a long time. I do so on long as I enjoy it, it does not have other plans for now.?
When growing your first tournament?
Probably on 31 December, in Australia or New Zealand. That is, I will most likely sit on a plane for Christmas.
