We should try to teach the young people values that are useful to them whether they become professional athletes or not.

There is some moments on the career of everyone that are important ones. Is obvious that first title on clay makes a big difference. After that, I was confident enough to keep going, winning in Barcelona, in Rome, then in Roland Garros.

I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don't want to - I just want to be at home with my family.

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.

It's more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery.

If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.

Every girl has her own character, every boy his own mind.
