I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can't celebrate a lot when you have big victories, and you cannot get too down when you're losing, as in a few days you'll be in the next tournament and you'll have to be ready with that.

I play each point like my life depends on it.

I am No. 8 in the world. I am not No. 100.

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.

My motivation is tomorrow, just one day at a time, right?

Losing is not my enemy..fear of losing is my enemy.

Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge.
