I could go and make commercials left and right and pretend like I am a celebrity, but that is not me.

The Olympics is not for tennis and tennis does not need the Olympics. It is not my goal in life to win a gold medal.

I'm not fighting with myself.

There is no such thing as a perfect player; it doesn't exist.

Me, I don't need money.
