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

You're playing or you're not playing. If you're playing, so just shut up and play.

Everybody is smarter from outside of the court.

I could be the best looking guy in the Duma, but that's only because all the other guys are over 60.

No matter what happens, tennis is still tennis: You can see a lot of great matches, a lot of new people.

I've lived my life the way I wanted to, whether scaling the mountains, partying long into the night or having fun playing soccer.
