I don't think I'm one of those guys who won't pick up a racket for three years...I love hitting tennis balls.

I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.

I definitely think the European weather has more of a factor than the European clay. I think the European weather changes from week to week, I mean, last year it was sunny and hot and this week it's kind of playing tricks on us a little bit. I definitely think that is a factor.

When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

Once you get to a certain level, anybody can beat anybody else on any given day.

One little secret of the guys who have won one slam, is that we don't want other guys to win one because its like a bit of a special fraternity.

I'm the most successful bad player ever.
