I used to get nervous, you know if my parents would come watch. And then I would get nervous if my friends came and watched. Today it's not a problem anymore actually, because now I enjoy it. I see that they, you know, respect me immensely, and I try to put on a good show and show that I can still play very good tennis.

The nicer the point, the more -- the better I feel, the more excited I get. But I never play that my opponent looks stupid. I think that is wrong. I have too much respect for every opponent I play.

I'm as patient a father as I am on the tennis court. It takes a lot for me to get really upset, but sometimes kids can get you really cross if they really keep bugging you.

You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.

When you're good at something, make that everything

Once you reach a good level in tennis it fills you with a lot of motivation. I hope I can do it for a long time.

A man who wins, is a man who thinks he can.
