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.

Something that works for one person could be a disadvantage to another.

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 need to improve, I want to improve, and to be able to stay in London and play on grass before Wimbledon is a very good opportunity for me.

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’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.

Don’t let your mouth write no check that your tail can’t cash.

A fool and her money are soon courted.

Money will buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail!

I used to have a drug problem, now I make enough money

When a fellow says it ain’t the money but the principle of the thing, it’s the money.

I’m living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.

I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don’t want to – I just want to be at home with my family.

I’m so poor I can’t even pay attention.

A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that’s subtraction!

Fortune does not change men, it unmasks them.

A billion here, a billion there, sooner or later it adds up to real money.

Somebody said to me, ‘But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.’ That’s a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, ‘Now, let’s write a swimming pool’.

It’s like when you see all the slave movies. Why you gotta keep reminding us about slavery? Why don’t you show us – put Michael Jordan on a $20 bill.

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

A man who pays his bills on time is soon forgotten
