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

Simple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically.

Every match I go into, I’m the huge favorite. I lose a set and it’s, like, crazy.

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.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.

I like to see honesty out of people. People who are trustworthy. I like to see people who are involved with The Lord.

If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.

Give up? I don’t know what that means.

The secret to success: find something you love to do so much, you can’t wait for the sun to rise to do it all over again.

Bottom line, your body is a temple, and you have to treat it that way. That’s how God designed it.

The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.
