If you want to belong to the best, you need good technique and, perhaps even more importantly, a good eye. If you see the ball sooner, you have more time to think about how and where to return it.

If somebody says I am better than Roger, I think this person doesn't know anything about tennis.

I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court.

I'm delighted and feel incredibly happy with what have been an amazing two months.

I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.

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.

Always I believe that I can play better. But I am happy.
