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

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

Lady, can you speak up a little bit? Indianapolis is a little far from Europe - I can't hear you.

But when I'm losing a few matches, suddenly 'It's his fault', 'He doesn't want to practice', 'He doesn't need it', 'He doesn't care'. And when everything goes well, there are people coming behind the stone, saying, 'Oh, my God, he's back finally, and I was there to help him out'.

Five sets is a kind of lottery. Anything can happen.

I love tennis, but I just don't like grass.

But normally when you talk to yourself [on court] you say; 'I love you, you're a good guy, but don't miss next time, okay.'
