What excites me is that I don't think I'm close to my best tennis. I still think I can play better and improve things.As in the last two sets against Federer I served very well. In one of the games Andy had a chance to break me, but when I got behind I served very well.On the big points I didn't give him too many chances to hit winners and when that happens it makes life easier.The semi-final and final matches were very good against two top players so I am very pleased. It is great to start the season with a title.I feel good going into the Australian Open but after what happened last year I don't want to get too carried away. I just need to concentrate on each match and fight hard as every round will be tough.I have defended my title in three different tournaments now so I like to go back to the same places. I've always felt very comfortable in Doha.I am one of the top guys but I don't know if I am the favourite at the Australian Open. There is Roger, Rafa and Novak who won last year. I like playing in Melbourne but I did not play well last year.
