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.

All children have rights and those rights must be protected.

The fact that nobody played tennis in my family and you'd say by chance they make three tennis courts in front of the restaurant that my family owned when I was 4, I think that's a destiny. That's kind of life circumstances that kind of come together for you to become who you want to become.

I think if you do not enjoy your time, your life, if you do not live intensely and do not spend time with your family, in one way or another it will be reflected in your career.

Mostly the problems when I was down were caused by myself. There were times when I was not responsible enough or decisive enough.

Nobody actually played tennis in my family.

I always try to show my human side to my colleagues and to the whole circuit. More than anything because we are all on the same train, it is part of our work.
