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.

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

I always traveled. I left Cameroon when I was 11 years old. I lived in the USA, in Switzerland.

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.

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

Arthur Ashe had been the first black athlete to play Johannesburg at the time of apartheid.

After a desperate fight, to know to congratulate your opponent, if he has beaten you, to shake his hand and go for a drink with him, in my eyes these things are particularly important.
