I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.

Probably I'll not be so successful if I will keep everything in myself inside of me.

If you're losing, just be a man, be a man and lose as a man. Don't pretend that you are injured and then you start running around and start to hit winners, and then all of a sudden you pull the hands up in the air after winning the match. I mean, what kind of sportsman are you? What kind of man are you?

Right now my main aim is not to get injured any more. I am a little bit afraid of running and sliding because the ankle was so painful. But I am not a person who runs a lot, who spends a lot of energy on the court. If I am mentally OK, if nothing is bothering me and I want to play, then it is fine.

I could pose in fashion commercials as a high society star but politics is a new way of life.

Don't get too excited when I am winning, and don't get too depressed when I am losing. Just keep it cool.

I think it's difficult to be No. 1. 'There's too much attention, too much expectation from other people.
