New York is a fantastic city.

I wish I could have won a lot more tournaments, but I got injured every time I played well.

It was really impossible to break through in Russia. We couldn't buy any balls. We really didn't have any courts, no rackets, nothing. And no people to practice with.

I was making comebacks every single year. That makes it difficult mentally. It causes a lot of stress.

Never give up. Last year I was trying to give up but I couldn't.

It is very hard for me to switch from clay to grass.

You have to wake up and you have to run if you want to survive.
