Two weeks ago, I was in a fantastic situation, winning at Roland Garros. Now, losing in the first round, it's tough. The tour continues. Life continues. This is a sport of victories, not a sport of losses. Nobody remembers the losses. I don't want to remember the loss.

I was passionate about soccer. I still am. Odd, though - playing soccer always made me much more anxious than playing tennis. On soccer days, I'd be out of bed by 6 in the morning, all nervous. But I was always calm when it was time for a tennis match. I still don't know why.

Don't think about being the number one in the world, try instead to get through today's program as well as you can. Then we will see whether one day you'll end up as number one or number 100.

My serve can get better, for sure. It's not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.

I played almost four hours today, ... Im very, very tired.

If you want to belong to the best, you need good technique and, perhaps even more importantly, a good eye. If you see the ball sooner, you have more time to think about how and where to return it.

All sports are continuously developing, but what they all have in common is that the speed is increasing. That's also true of tennis the ball is getting faster and faster.

It's the same old story, all you think about is money.

I would like to believe there is a God, but I think it is better to say I'm not sure there is a God and live your life with kindness and respect for people than to say I know there is a God and then do bad things.

I don't expect never an easy match. I always expect difficult matches.

You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there.
