“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.”

I can’t stay No. 1 for fifty years, you know. We’ll see what happens.

There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.

I don’t mind fans coming up in a friendly, respectful way. That’s all part of the fun of being a top tennis player. But if people take pictures without permission, particularly if my children are in the shot, I feel uncomfortable.

Seriously. I’m not playing to prove anything to journalists. I’m playing for myself, for my fans,to make people happy.

I fear no one, but respect everyone.

Hopefully I can just have another terrible year with only the one Grand Slam and that will be just fine.

In the locker room I was getting impatient to get on the court, I had to warm up several times.

I think it’s very hard for coaches to work with me. They’ll no doubt have a good CV afterwards, but at the same time they’re under a lot of pressure.

One of my big, big strengths I think early on in my career was that I could learn very quickly. You wouldn’t have to tell me the things 10 times or 50 times until I would understand them. You would only have to tell me two or three times.

I always believe if you’re stuck in a hole and maybe things aren’t going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.

Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that’s when you start playing your best.

Once you reach a good level in tennis it fills you with a lot of motivation. I hope I can do it for a long time.

My wife doesn’t like Football but she watches it just for Messi.

Oh, my God, I don’t think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.

I have to fit holidays around tournaments, particularly the grand slams, in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York.

For me, I’m in the driver’s seat; I’m No. 1 in the world. I’ve won the last couple of meetings, and I’ve won the big tournaments lately. Whoever comes, I’ll try to beat him. But it’s almost up to me to decide who’s my rival, isn’t it?

Don’t just give me butterflies I will never settle for less than a love that’s passionate and wild I need you to set my heart on fire I want you to set my soul ablaze.

I see ourselves like whiskey or wine – just gets better and better with time.

Many a moon and sun ago, I see you and time hit a slow. I began to wonder what life be like with you, only realize there is no life without you.

I’m aching to be with you, hold you touch you feel you. It won’t be long when we sing along. Hang in there my precious, wade away all the hysteresis. We will meet again soon, recreating the magic, the tune.

You are my universe my rock, my star. There’s nothing that can ever replace you.

You healed my broken wings with your soothing love and taught me how to fly again one step at a time.

I look at the lines around his eyes, they are my road map to my happiness.

The more I write about us, the more our love feels like art.
