I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there won't be many.

I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.

With all the injury problems we have in men's tennis at the moment, I'm happy to still be standing.

I have learnt to be even more patient.

I'm not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.

I always knew I had something special.

Seriously. I'm not playing to prove anything to journalists. I'm playing for myself, for my fans, to make people happy.

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.

Mentally, I'm not ever going to go away.

Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.

You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.

I definitely feel there's room for improvement.

My game is a lot about footwork. If I move well, I play well.

I have two lives, and all the problems I might have, I feel like I drop them once I step onto the match court.

The one thing you can do for sure is push the luck on your side

Clearly, when you win everything, it's fun. That doesn't necessarily mean you love the game more.

When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.

I am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.

Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that's when you start playing your best.
