There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.
A man who wins, is a man who thinks he can.
You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.
I fear no one, but respect everyone.
When you're good at something, make that everything
Tennis can be a very frustrating sport. There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it. You have to put in the hours because there is always something you can improve. [Y]ou have to put in a lot of sacrifice and effort for sometimes little reward but you have to know that, if you put in the right effort, the reward will come.
Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that's when you start playing your best.
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.
The more I lose, the more they believe they can beat me. But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me.
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.
When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.
The one thing you can do for sure is push the luck on your side
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.
Mentally, I'm not ever going to go away.
My game is a lot about footwork. If I move well, I play well.
Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.
Previously I always thought it was just tactical and technique, but every match has become almost mental and physical - I try to push myself to move well. I try to push myself not to get upset and stay positive, and that's what my biggest improvement is over all those years. Under pressure I can see things very clear.
I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.
When I was 12 years old, I was just horrible. My parents were ashamed to watch my matches. I would play on a court at the local club and they would watch from the balcony. They would scream, 'Be quiet' to me and I would scream back, 'Go and have a drink. Leave me alone.' Then we would drive home in a very quiet car. No one speaking to each other.
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.
I'm not angry. As an athlete ... you should be open to criticism, and you're allowed to be criticized, because not everybody has the same opinion, not everybody likes the same players. The rankings are quite volatile: Today you're 'great,' tomorrow you're 'not,' but then you're 'great' again. It makes for great stories. Now, I always look at the long term and by doing that, obviously, I can stay calm through the storm.
Seriously. I'm not playing to prove anything to journalists. I'm playing for myself, for my fans,to make people happy.
Winning or losing, it's always something special and something you'll remember, even more so when the match was as dramatic as it was today. It's even more memorable when I see my kids there with my wife and everything. That's what touched me the most, to be quite honest. The disappointment of the match itself went pretty quickly.
One or two years ago, I didn't know who I was on court and I used to swear a lot. But now I've learned how to cope and can therefore win 10 matches in a row. I want to be remembered as a good player rather than an idiot on court.
