I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different.
The glory is being happy. The glory is not winning here or winning there. The glory is enjoying practicing, enjoy every day, enjoying to work hard, trying to be a better player than before.
I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.
I love the beach. I love the sea. All my life I live within - in front of the sea.
I have been learning English on the road since I started when I was 15, so it is a slow process but making some progress. Now I think I am much more comfortable with my English. However, it is difficult, still, when I speak about something that is not tennis.
You fight, you try your best, but if you lose, you don't have to break five racquets and smash up the locker room. You can do those things, but when you've finished, nothing's changed. You've still lost. If something positive came from that, I probably would do it. But I see only negativity.
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.
It's not the time to look for excuses.
If you don't lose, you cannot enjoy the victories. So I have to accept both things.
Being home alone at night makes me a bit nervous. If I'm at home alone, I have to sleep on the sofa - I can't face going to bed. I'm there with the TV on and all the lights on. I'm not very brave about anything in life. In tennis, yes. In everything else, not very.
My parents' divorce made an important change in my life. It affected me. After that, when I can't play Wimbledon, it was tough. For one month I was outside the world.
In tennis, because of the way it's scored, I don't think that scoring one point out of luck is ever decisive in winning. But, of course, it depends on the moment.
I'd rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.
I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once.
I always like to do the things that I think are right. I am not trying to be a model, I am trying to be myself and do the right things. If what I am doing is a model, or is an example, is the right example, I am very happy, but I don't pretend that.
I'm lucky enough to do what I like for work - not everyone's that fortunate.
I am a guy who likes to do what I am doing with passion, whether it's a soccer match with friends or golf.
I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.
The thing, when you're down two sets to love, is to stay calm, even though it's hard, because people are freaking out, people are worried for you.
As a tennis player you can win and you can lose, and you have to be ready for both. I practised self-control as a kid. But as you get older they both - winning and losing - get easier.
