Gaudio is playing very well. Today he played at an incredible level, especially on his backhand. But I am only thinking of my own game, and of playing well.

You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it’s the right thing to do out there.

Every year I go to Broadway to see a musical – I like the music. I saw ‘Mamma Mia;’ I saw ‘Les Miserables;’ I saw ‘Phantom of the Opera’ like six, seven times.

My parents’ divorce made an important change in my life. It affected me.

However great your dedication, you never win anything on your own

Always I believe that I can play better. But I am happy.

I tried to find a solution to the problem that I had, tried to find a way to start playing better.

The only way of finding a solution is to fight back, to move, to run, and to control that pressure.

You fight, you try your best, but if you lose, you don’t have to break five racquets and smash up the locker room. You can do those things, but when you’ve finished, nothing’s changed. You’ve still lost. If something positive came from that, I probably would do it. But I see only negativity.

You can swim any way you like in the Dead Sea, actually.

I am decidedly unfriendly during a golf game, from the first hole to the last.

Look at my haircut. I am ready for the war.

All sports are continuously developing, but what they all have in common is that the speed is increasing. That’s also true of tennis; the ball is getting faster and faster.

I am a guy who likes to do what I am doing with passion, whether it’s a soccer match with friends or golf.

I play because I have fun, if I don’t have fun on the court, there is something wrong. I am just a 19 year old boy that likes to do what he likes, nothing else.

I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.

For sure, I’m going to play less matches because I think it’s very difficult to win the same number of matches as last year. Maybe I’m going to play a little bit less, but I like playing tournaments; so if I feel good, I going to play for sure.

I am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldnt have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made.

I think when you compete every week, when you play under pressure daily, you find your rituals to be 100 percent focused on what you’re doing.

I cannot win this year but I can play good on grass

When one player is better than you, at this moment, the only thing you can do is work, try to find solutions and try to wait a little bit for your time. I’m going to wait and I’m going to try a sixth time. And if the sixth doesn’t happen, a seventh. It’s going to be like this. That’s the spirit of sport.
