One of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move.

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.

My mother said I would have more chances to become a tennis player than a football player.

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.

I'm not a materialistic person.

I pass through the difficult moments in life, really difficult times on grass, during my seven years of my career. All of a sudden I felt comfortable.

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