If you are healthy, you can work. If you can work, then the chances of success are higher.

Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.

There are many moments during a match when you are tense, wrestling with yourself. Tennis is a lesson in self-control.

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.

Honesty, willingness to exert oneself, friendship - all these things shaped me too.

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

It is important to recognize the small successes.
