Coaches are very important to players. They're people that are mentors, people that are advising them, people that should be their friends and somebody you can rely on on the tour.

I had a nice childhood. War and all the experiences affected me as a person and helped me to grow, to change.

I don't like to compare years, honestly. I think every year is a different experience, a different challenge. You grow. You evolve as a person and as a player.

No, I have something else between my legs.

I love football and it's the sport I would really like to play. I've said on national television here that I would really love to play for one of our football clubs when I finished my tennis career.

I'm trying not to pay too much attention to the rankings because calculations can distract you.

I always tried to win. I was as competitive as I am today.
