Each year represents new challenges and obstacles. You have to adjust.

Joking around is part of my personality, just who I am.

I had a unique privilege to have a good start in life and a chance to develop my talents.

Mangling my racket and an odd swearword on the court is not something I am proud of and it shouldn't happen, but even my coaches have told me that it's sometimes better to let it all out, the anger inside you, because keeping it bottled would just eat you up in the long term.

We spent all day travelling, living away from the people you love, not sleep in our own bed ... We are far from our own houses. We live in hotels, clubs. And now that I am a father it is much more difficult.

When the last point is done, we are humans. Give your opponent a hug and say, ‘great fight,’ and that’s all.

My success has a lot to do with my private life. I've matured a lot by first becoming a husband and now a father. My life is in the right direction. And that helps a player to thrive. One thing is linked with the other. My private life has helped me.
