I love basketball.
I’ve seen the photos of me and Flo Rida. It doesn’t matter how we met. We met. I don’t want to say that we’re a couple. I can definitely say that he’s somebody in my life, and I’m definitely interested but I’m not serious with anybody.
I’ll be a nun, raise my daughter, and make albums.
I just feel my sexuality is private. I’m very shy about being sexy. That part of me has been so closed to the public eye. I’ve sold millions of records with my clothes on.
America’s Got Talent’ has really opened a lot of doors for me. I want to do a lot more TV.
I wanna sing about something that’s sexy and edgy.
I take conscious breaks for myself ’cause I like to rejuvenate and get my creative juices flowing. I also like to take my time with my creativity; I think it’s important.
You know, a lot of things changed. What never changed is the illusion to keep playing tennis, the illusion to keep doing well the things, and the illusion to be in a good position of the ranking and play these kind of matches.
I cannot win this year but I can play good on grass
Today people hit the ball with much more strength. Almost every player is capable of playing a winning stroke from any position. This means the balls arrive more quickly. If you want to reach them, you have to slow down from a high speed or suddenly change direction. These are moments when you can injure yourself, and that’s what wears us out.
The young athletes are supposed to mature, to improve their personality.
I always work with a goal – and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.
That’s the hard part about sport: as men we haven’t started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things.
If you want to belong to the best, you need good technique and, perhaps even more importantly, a good eye. If you see the ball sooner, you have more time to think about how and where to return it.
The bad thing about the tennis calendar is how it is made and obligates you to play tournaments all year. If you want to achieve the most you can and go as high up in the rankings as you can, you have to play from the start to the finish because there are important tournaments from the beginning to the end.
Please don’t call me arrogant, but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one.
My motivation is tomorrow, just one day at a time, right?
You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it’s the right thing to do out there.
Our strategy [at Chelsea] is to bring up our own players through the academy, which we have invested a lot in, and hope it gives results.
The first match is never easy. To play three sets with some important moments, that’s important for the confidence.
I’m only superstitious on the tennis court.
The only way of finding a solution is to fight back, to move, to run, and to control that pressure.
