I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.

I don't mind fans coming up in a friendly, respectful way. That's all part of the fun of being a top tennis player. But if people take pictures without permission, particularly if my children are in the shot, I feel uncomfortable.

I always had the dream that, once I became No 1 in the world, that if I had a child I hoped I would have it early enough so the child can see me playing.

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

I have two lives, and all the problems I might have, I feel like I drop them once I step on to the match court.

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

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.
