The confidence is there, the game is there, but physically you can't fight nature sometimes. You can't do much about it.

You have to believe on the court. In the end, it's mental. In these moments against a great champion like Rafa, you have to believe. It's all about stepping in and taking your chances. I always believed, but it's a process of learning.

I'm very fortunate to have the support of the people around me, I feel happy because my wife helps me and people who are close.

Even though now I'm pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport, and I'm very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments, I'm more a person who likes to have privacy and peace.

I am the greatest tennis player. The other players are like coins in my pocket that I give to a homeless man.

The history of our country is cruel. We have to face those issues or, should I say, we had to. Not anymore I hope, because we are going in the right direction, and we are ready to forgive, ready to move on.

I have always valued the care for my body, and my mind and had holistic approach to life. I always thought this is utmost importance for my tennis.
