Quote

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 am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.

Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation. It's a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents.

It's just unreal, I'm shocked myself. I've played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody.

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 used to do a lot of video analysis early on, but more for pleasure and looking at my own technique.

I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.

I never waited 27 years, because 27 years ago I was just born. My parents never told me, 'If you don't win Roland Garros we take you to the orphanage.

You've never seen me dance, have you?

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.

The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that's the beauty of it.

One of my big, big strengths I think early on in my career was that I could learn very quickly. You wouldn't have to tell me the things 10 times or 50 times until I would understand them. You would only have to tell me two or three times.

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.

The more I lose, the more they believe they can beat me. But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me.

One should just be able to play a perfect game.

I let the evening unfold. I'm the sort of guy who likes to sit in the chair and look at the wine glass.
