I have good anticipation, and good reaction to the the ball because I've played so many matches in my life.

The Czech tennis federation wasn't holding me back, but they could still pull the plug anytime they wanted.

It's an amazing feeling: tennis is growing very quickly in Canada, and to be a big part of it is an honour.

Nadal's the best player in history on [clay], and he is one of the best-ever players that played this game.

I like to watch movies - I just saw the documentary about Amy Winehouse, which was very good and emotional.

In my attempt to defend myself, I was badly injured on my left hand. I am shaken but fortunate to be alive.

I'm playing great tennis. I'm enjoying the tour, having fun with the fans off the court. I'm loving it now.

For some reason, every time I peak in my career, I injure myself. So, I'm constantly on the comeback trail.

Hopefully, we can build a rivalry and we'll be able to do this a lot. Make a legacy, then retire champions.

I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.

Hopefully I'll be able to mature one of these days, get serious, and at least have them [kids] pretty fast.

I can honestly say that every time I go on court, I see the opponent in a competitive way, but not a rival.

I've had plenty of practice and I'm hitting the ball well. I've had no injury worries so I'm in good shape.

I don't think anyone feels older. You have this infinity inside you that feels like it could go on forever.

Downtown, one has less time. But there are in Europe much people who have the faith, in South America, too.

My coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this.

If you are happy in your private life, and - that will affect your tennis, and that will help you, actually.

A lot of coaches are very intense, which is good once you are working, but you don't want that all the time.

Tennis has opened a number of possibilities for me, and in future, it would be great to give something back.

I'm very happy to come back. I've always had success here and the public is fantastic. I love you, Montreal.

Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.

If you become great, then you can become happy. If you're happy first, it's much more difficult to be great.

Once you win, you have no doubt that you can win. So you have gone through it once, and you can do it again.

Tennis is more than just shots. It's about being clutch and beating the people on the other side of the net.

I grew up in a nice neighborhood in Greensboro, N.C., which is not too big, but definitely not a small town.

Look at Becker and Djokovic. If you look at Novak's record since Boris has been there, it's been phenomenal.

You know, I eat, I ate pretty well anyway so, I'm basically living the same, I just curtailed the stupidity.

The Rule of Accuracy: When working toward the solution of a problem, it always helps if you know the answer.

If you don't do something special against Chris Evert you find yourself losing concentration after 35 shots.

Whether you win a match or lose a match, in terms of your emotions, it's important to be pretty levelheaded.

I'm always that annoying person that pulls out the camera in the middle of dinner and starts taking candids.

I'd probably start charging for medical timeouts. I think we'd all see who really uses them and who doesn't.

When the last point is done, we are humans. Give your opponent a hug and say, ‘great fight,’ and that’s all.

It gives me goose bumps and little butterflies in the stomach when I start thinking about the 'golden slam.'

My serve was there, everything was just clicking. Those are the days you dream about, especially in a final.

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 have always made sure that I put my game ahead of anything else, sometimes even before friends and family.

Most people that do play nowadays hit really hard. It was good to get someone that hit really hard early on.

In my opinion, to be No. 1 in the world and to be the best player in the world, it's a little bit different.

I've been here playing against Connors and it can be very, very loud. It makes it exciting at the same time.

If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.

We're breaking records and we're moving forward. I always expected to win Grand Slams. This was meant to be.

Losers have tons of variety. Champions just take pride in learning to hit the same old boring winning shots.

I think I have handled things pretty well last year and this. What I have to do now is try do it even better.

I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.

There's no home team in tennis, no built-in fan base, so the players have to step up and do their fair share.

I don't think I'm one of those guys who won't pick up a racket for three years...I love hitting tennis balls.

I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.

I didn't really care if I had a coach that much, me personally, because I was brought up to think for myself.

I'm not a conservative or a free market advocate or a Republican because, you know, I want people to like me.
