When one player is better than you, at this moment, the only thing you can do is work, try to find solutions and try to wait a little bit for your time. I'm going to wait and I'm going to try a sixth time. And if the sixth doesn't happen, a seventh. It's going to be like this. That's the spirit of sport.

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

New York is a special place; it's a city that I love.

That's painful always to lose.

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

You have to accept both losing and winning well. I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost.

Last four months were great for me, was probably one of the best four months of my career, playing unbelievable in the clay court season.
