I am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldnt have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made.

The only way of finding a solution is to fight back, to move, to run, and to control that pressure.

I play each point like my life depends on it.

There are many moments during a match when you are tense, wrestling with yourself. Tennis is a lesson in self-control.

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

It's more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery.

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