It's so difficult to find time besides the tennis.

I never look back, I look forward.

Ive been taught very early on that if you want to win a tournament youve got to beat anybody, and hopefully I play well and enjoy it.

If you watch Rafael Nadal play tennis, you can only respond with amazement and great admiration. He is an incredible athlete with so much discipline, so much concentration and someone who likes to put a lot of passion into every point. Words fail to come out of me to describe his game appropriately. I've rarely seen anyone who approaches a ball with so much attention. With such passion and joy that it makes great fun to watch him. With him, you can associate everything that makes tennis so beautiful.

I never hanker after the past - I prefer to devote myself to new tasks.

When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

You can't measure success if you have never failed.
