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

Marat SafinThat was...that was choking. You're right. But of course when you play against (Roger) Federer, he's No. 1 in the world, he won three grand slams last year, and he's just full of confidence. It's difficult to do anything regular to beat him. You have to do something extra to be able to have the chance to beat him. Set points, I had six of them and I couldn't take one. But I was close.
