My father had never watched tennis, never liked tennis too much. He said, 'OK, we buy a racket, we watch together,' because we didn't know anything. It was a process of learning together that made it more interesting.

We only have one life and one body to care of, and we better do it right. You never know what tomorrow may bring and so we better live this life the best we can and be grateful for everything we have.

I always try to adjust to the situation.

Pressure is part of what we do. It's always present.

I stopped thinking too much about what could happen and relied on my physical and mental strength to play the right shots at the right time.

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.

My mother is a special story. She went through so much to bring us up, four men at home, especially when our country was going through really difficult times.
