I got married, going to become father soon, being No. 1 in the sport that I love with all my heart. I mean, it's pretty awesome.

My father believed in me many times more than I believed in myself.
father sacrifice made
My father never talked about the sacrifices that the family made for me.
husband father player
My success has a lot to do with my private life. I've matured a lot by first becoming a husband and now a father. My life is in the right direction. And that helps a player to thrive. One thing is linked with the other. My private life has helped me.
father sleep people
We spent all day travelling, living away from the people you love, not sleep in our own bed ... We are far from our own houses. We live in hotels, clubs. And now that I am a father it is much more difficult.
father interesting tennis
My father had never watched tennis, never liked tennis too much. He said, 'OK, we buy a racket, we watch together,' because we didn't know anything. It was a process of learning together that made it more interesting.
base knowledge tennis
Everything I know about tennis I know from her. She was the base of my knowledge.
chances continue focused great next played playing point positive satisfied surprised win
It's a great win for me. I'm pretty satisfied with my game. Actually, I'm very, very surprised and positive with how I played today. I was really focused from the first point to the last, so I think if I continue playing like this, I have really big chances to win also in the next round.
andy bad british good last strongest team
This is bad for the British team as Andy is a very good player. We have our strongest team in the last 15 years going into this match.
came great guy improved level matter played san serve surprised time win won
His serve has improved a lot and his movement. He's always played smart. I'm not surprised by his win in San Jose. It was just a matter of time before he came to that level and won a tournament. He's a great guy and he has a big talent.
best chance match players win
He's the one of the best players ever, and you know that before you go on court. But he's not an alien. I'm disappointed because I had a chance to win today. I had the match under control.
war years two
I have been through two wars in my 24 years, and I know what it's like to be without anything, to see the bombs flying above your head.
dream children team
Messi is the best player on the planet and he keeps on improving at Barça, now the best team in the world. What Messi does on and off the pitch is an inspiration for children who dream of becoming a footballer.

My strokes just weren't there.
