I can't change history, I don't want to change history. I can only change the future. I'm working on that.
I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I love to play.
That's the hard part about sport: as men we haven't started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things.
It's silly to say it about a tennis player, but I'm an unbelievable hero in Germany. And Germany needs heroes more than any place.
It was a confusing time in my life, a really bad day at the office.
I go to my favourite tournament, I talk about my favourite sport and it's just a great month of parading.
I had the pleasure of competing at the Olympic Games and at Wimbledon and was fortunate enough to win the gold medal in both events,
I know what it's like to be married and to live in a house with a garden, but it's not something I'm striving for at the moment.
I'm a different man now. I'm still a romantic, I still believe in love, but when I met Barbara I was looking for it. Now, I don't know.
