It is no longer enough to play very well. You need to be able to give an answer at all times and everywhere. You cannot hide. This has something to do with maturity, and that is something you only acquire over the years.

Two weeks ago, I was in a fantastic situation, winning at Roland Garros. Now, losing in the first round, it's tough. The tour continues. Life continues. This is a sport of victories, not a sport of losses. Nobody remembers the losses. I don't want to remember the loss.

Don't think about being the number one in the world, try instead to get through today's program as well as you can. Then we will see whether one day you'll end up as number one or number 100.

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

I take pleasure in tennis and the hope that it requires.

Tennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don't just react but are able to act and think.

We'll try and be very aggressive, we'll try and speed up and change gears, and we'll see who's going to win.
