Does anyone ask their parents how they are conceived?
A few years after my first son was born, he wanted to know how we chose his name, so I began reading him the story of Noah’s Ark.
How do you build a relationship when you’ve hardly shared a word but suddenly share a child? How do you love a daughter you don’t see for nearly two years? When does she become your daughter? How does she become your daughter?
I’m not a God, I make mistakes.
Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.
Before, I wouldn’t have sacrificed anything for tennis but when I met Barbara it was different. I would have sacrificed tennis for Barbara.
I can’t change history, I don’t want to change history. I can only change the future. I’m working on that.
Where do you go when you’re the best in the world? What’s next?
I want to be a hero, a small and good kind of hero, even though I know heroes have very short lives.
[Roger Federer] We have a guy from Switzerland who is just playing the game in a way I haven’t seen anyone – and I mean anyone – play before. How fortunate we are to be able to see that.
