“Sometimes you can really serve well and win the match because of the serve. I have the opposite thing now, so it’s kind of hard. I can just really play with my forehand and backhand.”

I really played a lot this year. Sometimes it’s really hard to stay focused all the time because you’re really tired after the whole season.

It’s always difficult, especially the U.S. Open, the last of the Grand Slams. It’s always tough because you know, the season is very long.

I’m staying in my hometown and my home country because that is where I feel comfortable. I feel good there.

If somebody knows me, they know for sure I’m from Poland because I’m playing for my country every tournament, every match.

Are you kidding me?’ But we’re always saying that what matters about the courts – the lines, the nets – are the same. I’m practicing in Poland even when I don’t have good facilities.

When people are coming to Krakow and we show them how and where we practice, they are like, ‘Seriously?

No cricket should be played for at least a month anywhere in the world after a World Cup.

We have to win everything. The last time we went to South Africa, we had an opportunity to win the series, but things didn’t work out.

Every time I go on to the court, people expect me to get a medal. It is tough, and I can’t win always, but I still have to go out there and give my best.

The more matches I play, the more confident I get.

When you lose in the quarterfinals or semifinals, you actually learn a lot from those mistakes.

My job is to help Virat in the field. He is the captain, and whenever he looks up around, I should be around to complement him and help him as much as I could.

I used to hate any batsman who would not get out in my deliveries.

The only pressure I feel is how I can contribute to help my team win the match. Of course, there is always the pressure to score, but then doesn’t it eventually help your team win? Frankly, I don’t let these things affect me.
