“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.”

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.

I definitely feel there’s room for improvement.

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.

My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know.

Freedom that ignores the transcendent difference between good and evil ends in the denial of freedom itself.

God is not a symbol of goodness; goodness is a symbol of God.

We should think of those who were famous for their good deeds or their bad deeds; did their fame raise them one single degree in the sight of Allah. Did it win them a reward that they had not already won by their actions during their life?

People who worry about looking good typically hide what they don’t know and hide their weaknesses, so they never learn how to properly deal with them and these weaknesses remain impediments in the future.

It’s good to know that other people think differently, and that’s what makes the characters interesting.

I know what my strengths are and what theirs are and what the three of us do is play for the good of the team.

Sometimes when you make good stuff and you love it, it gets outdated sometimes, because you’ve held on to it so long, you may not like it like you used to.
