I’m really, really emotional.
I am very lucky because when I come back home, I have a completely normal life. I can relax, playing golf, fishing – doing what I want. I know when I finish a tournament, I am going to relax at home.
I’m lucky enough to do what I like for work – not everyone’s that fortunate.
The only way of finding a solution is to fight back, to move, to run, and to control that pressure.
I am going to fight for important things.
If the girls and boys have talent and feel like working on themselves, they can become champions.
If somebody says I am better than Roger, I think this person doesn’t know anything about tennis.
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.
My serve can get better, for sure. It’s not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.
It’s already a great feeling to be third on the list. To get past Borg, I will have to reach the final in Barcelona next week. It won?t be easy. I could lose any day. But if I am 100 per cent I know I have a great chance of winning.
Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions.
In your career you have a lot of good moments and bad ones. The important thing is to have enough motivation to keep working all the days with humility and trying to be a better player than before. I am going to try to continue doing this.
It is the small steps which bring you satisfaction at the end of the day.
Look at my haircut. I am ready for the war.
I’d rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.
It’s important to have people around you with enough confidence to say if you are not acting in a good way. Normally, when you are at the top, people say everything is fantastic. Probably in that moment it is what you want to hear, but it’s best to be reminded how to act properly.
I admire a lot of people, but in terms of sport I’ve always loved the mentality of Tiger Woods on a golf course. I always love his eyes when he’s setting himself and focusing on his decision; he has a really strong, focused face and believes that he can make the shot.
We should try to teach the young people values that are useful to them whether they become professional athletes or not.
I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once.
It’s more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery.
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.
