“I definitely feel there’s room for improvement.”

It’s not so simple to just stay in the moment and trust your game and your strength that you can turn it around.

I am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.

The serve, I think, is the most difficult, you know, in terms of coordination, because you got the two arms going, and you got to toss it up at the right time so.

Maybe further down the road in my career, in a couple of years when I’m maybe not that fast any more around the court, then maybe it would be good to come to the net a little bit more often.

My favorite shot is always gonna be the forehand. It used to always be my favorite shot when I was young, so it’s the one I’ve won all the points with.

I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don’t dislike it.

You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.

I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn’t stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.

Mentally, I’m not ever going to go away.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn’t get more consistent than this year.

I have two lives, and all the problems I might have, I feel like I drop them once I step on to the match court.

When you’re good at something, make that everything

It doesn’t need to be the same every day, doesn’t need to be the same shower I use, the same restaurant I go to, the same hour I go to sleep. I’ve always been very flexible. I don’t care if I practice at nine in the morning or 10 P.M.

I would so like to be Lenny Kravitz.

Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you’ve already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don’t know.

It’s a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don’t like is predictable.

One can never ask anyone to change a feeling.

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.

In today’s fast-changing world, it’s not so much what you know anymore that counts, because often what you know is old. It is how fast you learn. That skill is priceless.

It’s pretty strange because you have images of people in your head when you left, then you just think they’re going to be the same when you come back, like time freezes. I have sisters and from the ages of 11 to 13 – it’s a big change for girls.

Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don’t like to lose, and if I’m told ‘no’, then I find another way to get my ‘yes.’

Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.

For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.
