“Sure you have feelings and you get emotional and angry but I kept everything inside because I think I still had that thought in my mind – I didn’t want to get suspended again”

You never know how long Federer is going to play, but in my opinion he has at least one or two more grand slams to win. It depends how long he stays motivated. For me, he is the greatest player to ever play the game.

Tennis is a traditional game. A big sport like tennis does not need too many changes. The game has become too fast, there are hardly any long, interesting rallies these days. So maybe slowing down the courts could help. But you can’t really stop a sport from evolving.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match.

I had a great tennis career. I have no regrets. But to find peace with yourself, and to finally be with your family – I’m probably the happiest guy in the world.

If you’re a good experienced player, you wknow what it takes to do. If you’re in trouble, you know how to change.

I’m an actor who plays an intriguing character, not a political pundit.

You know growing up in Sweden meant we had a lot of rain when we played tennis. We were taught on clay courts but because of the weather, we had to go indoors a lot.

I just hated to lose.

On Rafael Nadal: Every point he plays is like match point. That’s why he’s the champion right now.

You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that’s the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It’s worth it.

If you’re afraid of losing, then you daren’t win.

Basically I started playing double handed on both my forehand and backhand side because my first racket was very heavy.

Now that I have found someone, I’m feeling more alone… than I ever have before.

Those things don’t happen today. I feel sorry for the kids in the industry today. They have on sunglasses, eat caviar in jet planes, but they’ll never know the true feeling that we did.

I’ve been up, down, trying to get the feeling again. All around, trying to get the feeling again. The one that makes me shiver, made my knees start to quiver.

Shortly after the end of last season, I felt that I probably would not return for the 1999-2000 season. I also felt that I should take as much time as possible to sort through my feelings and make sure that my feelings were backed with conviction.

It just means that if someone hates you, they still have feelings for you. If they really didn’t care about you, they’d just forget about you. They wouldn’t even waste the time hating you.

The same feeling you get from succeeding is the same feeling I get from failing, now imagine what happens when I win.

One life to live, live it to the fullest. If you have doubts or your gut feeling says something, listen. Don’t waste time, time will waist u.

There is no feeling like coming home after danger.
