If you don't lose, you cannot enjoy the victories. So I have to accept both things.

Honesty, willingness to exert oneself, friendship - all these things shaped me too.

What distinguishes tennis is respect for one's opponent, one's conduct on the court.

If you are playing bad you are going to lose here, on clay, on ice, or on the beach.

I just try to win the match by fighting for every point, and running down every ball.

Is only a tennis match. At the end, that's life. There is much more important things.

I'm always searching for new music, and I change what I listen to on a regular basis.

I am lucky because my family are comfortably off. My father has his own glass business.

I will work day after day like I did my whole life ... I'm not going to change anything.

If you are healthy, you can work. If you can work, then the chances of success are higher.

I'm ambidextrous when I eat. But playing tennis right-handed - I can't do it. I'm clueless.

If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.

I am satisfied the way that I am playing. Is obvious that there is always things to improve.

Everybody is doing the best things possible to still healthy and to play as long as possible.

I feel that love. I feel that energy. I always felt that energy when I'm playing in New York.

If somebody says I am better than Roger, I think this person doesn't know anything about tennis.

I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different.

If the girls and boys have talent and feel like working on themselves, they can become champions.

I tried to find a solution to the problem that I had, tried to find a way to start playing better.

The only way of finding a solution is to fight back, to move, to run, and to control that pressure.

I have always tried to avoid regrets. Could I have done differently some things in my career? Maybe.

I live where I would like to live. I live in Majorca, Spain, and I am not sure there are better places.

When you get older, if you are healthy, is not a problem. If you don't have the health, then you go home.

Tennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don't just react but are able to act and think.

I am a guy who likes to do what I am doing with passion, whether it's a soccer match with friends or golf.

We'll try and be very aggressive, we'll try and speed up and change gears, and we'll see who's going to win.

I became a player who goes to a lot of effort while training, who can rely on his will and his mental strengths.

I love the crowds in Miami. I feel that is one of the tournaments where I get more support. That helps me a lot.

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

I'm not the best player in the history of tennis. I think I'm amongst the best. That's true. That's enough for me.

I always had the theory that the most important thing is be happy, enjoy what are you doing, and be fresh mentally.

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

It should not be a child's only goal to become the best player in the world. That would be a bad, a harmful attitude.

There are many moments during a match when you are tense, wrestling with yourself. Tennis is a lesson in self-control.

I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court. Being alone in the dark is something I don't like.

You have to accept both losing and winning well. I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost.

We should try to teach the young people values that are useful to them whether they become professional athletes or not.

I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don't want to - I just want to be at home with my family.

I just was in the second round. That's painful, because always is tough to lose, but well, that's sport. You win, you lose.

He's a fantastic player and he's going to be around so much longer so I'm happy with every one I get before he takes them all

Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge.

My uncle developed the training philosophy. His idea of good tennis training is basically quite simple: you must try to gain time.

It's hard to say, 'I don't believe in God.' I would love to know if God exists. But it's a very difficult thing for me to believe.

I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.

I think the tennis is only a game. You can lose. You can win. After that? In life, there are much more important things than tennis.

Some people may learn something from the way I play tennis. But there are also players who are better than me in certain techniques.

I would love to learn other languages, maybe French? My uncle speaks German so maybe also German? Chinese seems to be too difficult.

Last four months were great for me, was probably one of the best four months of my career, playing unbelievable in the clay court season.

I think I am a complete player. I can play well on all the surfaces. For me, the clay might be easiest, but I am not a specialist on clay.

I'll never have a tattoo - I just don't like them, and when you're old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don't like them on men.
