I have lived my whole life with high intensity.

It is important to recognize the small successes.

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.

My uncle developed the training philosophy. His idea of good tennis training is basically quite simple: you must try to gain time.

All sports are continuously developing, but what they all have in common is that the speed is increasing. That's also true of tennis; the ball is getting faster and faster.

I feel that love. I feel that energy. I always felt that energy when I'm playing in New York.

Win 10 times in an important event like Monte-Carlo is something difficult to describe the feeling. Every year have been a different feeling. At the same time is always a unique moment every time I have this trophy with me.
