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

I've had good times and bad times. That's me. That's how I am.

Roger [Federer], he brought tennis... one level higher. Normally he toys with everybody. With all respect to other players, he does whatever he wants on the court against them. It's incredible what kind of game he can play.

Everybody is smarter from outside of the court.

All in all, I think Kazan is Russia's sportiest city after Moscow, leaving all the others far behind.

It's a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain. Every year it's getting worse and worse and worse. There has to be a radical change, and I hope it will be really soon.

We live because of the dreams.
