I lost to a better player who played some courageous tennis and deserved to win.

People look up to me as somebody who is able to switch the image of our country from negative to positive.

I have been through two wars in my 24 years, and I know what it's like to be without anything, to see the bombs flying above your head.

I remember as a kid, I was improvising and making little trophies out of different materials and going in front of the mirror, lifting the trophies and saying 'Nole was the champion!'

Not everybody can like what I do, and if you feel that somebody is coming up closer to you and starting the rivalry and everything, you maybe change your position to him.

When the last point is done, we are humans. Give your opponent a hug and say, ‘great fight,’ and that’s all.

Tennis is my life, obviously; I need to focus, I need to win. But it's not the only thing. I'm not going to play forever.
