Victory is fleeting. Losing is forever.

The most important words that have helped me in life, when things have gone right or when things have gone wrong are 'accept responsibility.'

It's about learning your craft. That's a wonderful thing--especially with today's consumerism and instant gratification. You can'tbuy that. It's about making decisions, corrections, choices. I don't think it's so much about becoming a tennis player. It's about becoming a person.

Don't let anyone define you. You define yourself.

Winning comes down to who can execute under pressure.

I have a lot to say, and if I'm not No. 1, I can't say it.

Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.
