It was very unusual for a boy to play tennis in my country.

Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of baseball.

We only have one life and one body to care of, and we better do it right. You never know what tomorrow may bring and so we better live this life the best we can and be grateful for everything we have.

It has been the best thing that has ever happened in my life.

This time last year I would have said Federer would beat Sampras's record. Now I'm not so sure. His aura has gone. He's not as dominant as he was, and since I beat him in Australia he's looked frustrated. Players are beginning to challenge him now, especially myself and Rafa. He's got 12 Grand Slams to his name and maybe he will beat Sampras, but now I'm here it will be tough for him.

I love being around people who care about me, and I care about them.
