I am not playing Wimbledon because I am allergic to grass.

I was between 2 and 3 in the world for two, three years. That's not exactly where I wanted to be.

Don't mistake activity for achievement - practice the right way. - John Wooden I only play well when I'm prepared. If I don't practice the way I should, then I won't play the way that I know I can.

But it's very difficult, I can tell you I played the Czech Open a few times and it's very difficult just to go on to a scene where the course is prepared differently when the greens are fast and he's not used to it and they're hard as a rock and he's not used to it.

You know how kids are. They like to do what parents do.

I think talent is dangerous to have if you take it for granted. If you use it well and put hard work with it together, it's hard to catch that guy. And I think that's what you're seeing right now.

If you lose, it hurts, but as long as you have fought hard, you can still feel good about yourself.
