Many say that (Pete) Sampras is the greatest player. But I say with all due respect to the rest, that he (Roger Federer) is the most complete player in the world so far.

I've had a lot of luck. If I didn't I'd be washing bottles in Russia.

You cannot take all the chances you get.

From now until the end of the year I would like to eke out one victory, that's my short term aim. I am sure I can be competitive in 2004. Tennis is like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it.

There wasn't a rich father or rich family that paid for everything that I have right now, so I worked my way.

Me, I don't need money.

It's a completely different situation right now because last year it was the time that nobody expected anything from me anything -- I had nothing to lose, basically I was starting from zero. And now I'm back in Top 5. And for me it's a different stage.
