To handle that stardom, the red carpets, the photo shoots, people all of a sudden recognizing you and following you in everyday life, it's a bit weird. It's strange, and it can have funny effects on you in terms of do you like it or don't you like it. Some people run away from it, some people embrace it; I found a good middle ground.

The more I lose, the more they believe they can beat me. But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me.

I can't stay No. 1 for fifty years, you know. We'll see what happens.

I'm not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.

I love tennis! I've always felt like this because it is such a classy sport with a great, competitive flair to it.

I think it's very hard for coaches to work with me. They'll no doubt have a good CV afterwards, but at the same time they're under a lot of pressure.

You live during the match, and you have strong emotions, but you don't want to get too overexcited. My body's totally flat now. I cannot move anymore. I'm totally exhausted, just because of the tension out there.
