I don't expect never an easy match. I always expect difficult matches.

It should not be a child's only goal to become the best player in the world. That would be a bad, a harmful attitude.

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.

As a tennis player you can win and you can lose, and you have to be ready for both. I practised self-control as a kid. But as you get older they both - winning and losing - get easier.

Is always the motivation to play better and better. But I think we are in a very good way to keep winning matches. That's most important thing for me.

I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once. I am happy being here and all the things that are a risk I normally avoid.

It's not the time to look for excuses.
