I believe in Karma. If the good is sown, the good is collected. When positive things are made, that returns well.

I have always considered tennis as a combat in an arena between two gladiators who have their racquets and their courage as their weapons.

I did not support any more New York. I lived 10 years there, and after September 11, I felt very European. I did not share the opinion of people in the street, who were deeply influenced by what they heard in the media.

Downtown, one has less time. But there are in Europe much people who have the faith, in South America, too.

It made me hungry. I feel like I'm in a program that really helped me individually as a player. I feel like I'm with a group of guys that are like my best friends.

Being in the stands is very difficult. I was never playing but I am nervous watching, waiting.

In black Africa, one does not strike, one does not express, one walks right.
