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

If I was the type of person who had tennis, tennis, tennis all the time and I went to bed and ended up dreaming about tennis, I would go nuts.

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

I've realized I can't waste any moment being unhappy.

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

It's frustrating when you want to play but can't. I didn't touch a racket for three weeks and when I started playing again last week, I still felt some pain in my wrist.

That 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.
