In terms of playing ability there is nothing to choose between number one and 100. Instead, it's a question of who believes and who wants it more? Which player is mentally stronger? Which player is going to fight the hardest in the big points? These are the things that determine who is the champion.

I still feel young as far as motivation is concerned, and also the challenges that I have for the future and what I want to achieve. So I just hope this successful streak is extended to the fullest.

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

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 think there has been enough communication between the players and the tournaments. In one sense it's just as much the players' fault. Players talk between each other and in the locker room about things that can be improved and then when the time comes to talk and really do something about it they stop.

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

I think luck falls on not just the brave but also the ones who believe they belong there.
