My tennis is aggressive, though I wouldn't say that it's more physical than technical. I rely more on technique than physique, but being physical is always a help to me.

Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I'm going to get better that day.

It is the small steps which bring you satisfaction at the end of the day.

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

I have lived my whole life with high intensity.

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

I am lucky because my family are comfortably off. My father has his own glass business.
