He's a fantastic player and he's going to be around so much longer so I'm happy with every one I get before he takes them all

Everybody is doing the best things possible to still healthy and to play as long as possible.

You fight, you try your best, but if you lose, you dont have to break five racquets and smash up the locker room. You can do those things, but when youve finished, nothings changed. Youve still lost. If something positive came from that, I probably would do it. But I see only negativity.

I was passionate about soccer. I still am. Odd, though - playing soccer always made me much more anxious than playing tennis. On soccer days, I'd be out of bed by 6 in the morning, all nervous. But I was always calm when it was time for a tennis match. I still don't know why.

The bad thing about the [tennis] calendar is how it is made and obligates you to play tournaments all year. If you want to achieve the most you can (and) go as high up (in the rankings) as you can, you have to play from the start to the finish because there are important tournaments from the beginning to the end.

I became a player who goes to a lot of effort while training, who can rely on his will and his mental strengths.

If somebody says I am better than Roger, I think this person doesn't know anything about tennis.
