I always had the theory that the most important thing is be happy, enjoy what are you doing, and be fresh mentally.

I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don't want to - I just want to be at home with my family.

It is important to recognize the small successes.

If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.

I'll never have a tattoo - I just don't like them, and when you're old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don't like them on men.

The US player Andy Roddick reaches speeds of 220 kilometers per hour when he serves. If I train with him every day, I will later be at an advantage against a player whose service crosses the net at 190 kilometers per hour.

My goal is to improve my game, stay healthy and be competitive. If I have that, I know I can be able to win tournaments, which in the end is what it counts.
