“I always believe if you’re stuck in a hole and maybe things aren’t going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.”

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.

My wife doesn’t like Football but she watches it just for Messi.

Oh, my God, I don’t think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.

I have to fit holidays around tournaments, particularly the grand slams, in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York.

For me, I’m in the driver’s seat; I’m No. 1 in the world. I’ve won the last couple of meetings, and I’ve won the big tournaments lately. Whoever comes, I’ll try to beat him. But it’s almost up to me to decide who’s my rival, isn’t it?

I don’t know how you can go through a four-hour match with Rafa and he never gets a time violation.

Sometimes I am a different character in different languages. I have different enjoyment from them. Sometimes different answers come out of me. Like, I didnt even know that about me. I get to know myself through different languages, actually.

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.

Faith consists in believing what reason cannot.

I believe innovation is the most powerful force for change in the world.

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

Always believe in yourself. No matter who’s around you being negative or thrusting negative energy at you, totally block it off. Because whatever you believe, you become.

I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

God is near you, is with you, is inside you.
