“I have a very strong opinion. I’m absolutely against it. I’m against the challenge system. I’m for the way it is right now. Don’t change that.”

Watching a movie a couple of weeks ago. An American movie. I can’t remember the name, but it wasn’t even a sad movie. It caught me off guard. I was on an airplane.

Obviously, matches and all that stuff takes its toll on your body and so forth. But as you get sort of a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit more experienced, you know also how to handle it.

Success is a nice thing because it always means you’ve taken a step forward and it gives you a sense of pride, which in turn gives you confidence and experience-a positive circle, so to speak.

The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that’s the beauty of it.

With all the injury problems we have in men’s tennis at the moment, I’m happy to still be standing.

I was aware of how incredible the match was. Unfortunately there had to be a winner. From my point of view many left feeling sorry for me instead of being happy for Rafa. Which hurts.

One should just be able to play a perfect game.

I never waited 27 years, because 27 years ago I was just born. My parents never told me, ‘If you don’t win Roland Garros we take you to the orphanage.

The one thing you can do for sure is push the luck on your side.

You can be stubborn and successful or you can give it up a bit and change things around. For me it’s important to have a bit of both.

I’m not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.

I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.

My game is a lot about footwork. If I move well, I play well.

My family is the thing I miss most on the tour.

I always knew I had something special.

Confidence? Are you kidding me? I mean, please. Look, some players grow up and play like that. I remember losing junior matches. Just being down 5-2 in the third, and they all just start slapping shots.

Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge.

When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.

I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing.

If you’re sick, if you’re struggling, if you’re worried about how you’re going to get through the day – we will not abandon you. We will not leave you to face these challenges alone.

The challenge before us right now is still immense and growing, and so is the need for bold action to fight this pandemic.

The challenge of every team is to build a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another because the question is usually not how well each person performs, but how well they work together.

No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach.

I’m grateful to my mother for raising me with love and to all mothers out there for the important and challenging work you do every single day to make your family and the whole world a little bit better.
