When they [court announcers] say, 'This is the world No. 2,' it just doesn't sound right to me because either I'm No. 1 or I'm a grand slam champion. I'm not world No. 2. I just don't like the ring of it when I'm introduced on court because I've been up there for so, so long.

Obviously, matches and all that stuff takes its toll on your body and so forth. But as you get sort of a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit more experienced, you know also how to handle it.

You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.

It's not so simple to just stay in the moment and trust your game and your strength that you can turn it around.

I have a very strong opinion. I'm absolutely against it. I'm against the challenge system. I'm for the way it is right now. Don't change that.

I let the evening unfold. I'm the sort of guy who likes to sit in the chair and look at the wine glass.
