sports fighting years
I physically feel very fit, i'm very motivated to keep on playing on a very high level. I'm going to try to use these years in front of me to fight for number one in the world and the biggest titles in the sport.
fighting games sometimes
The confidence is there, the game is there, but physically you can't fight nature sometimes. You can't do much about it.
cheer fighting animal
Tennis players we're always playing in center courts that feel like arenas. And when we get on the court and the crowd cheers your name or salutes you - it's like you're a gladiator in the arena. And everyone is cheering - and you're fighting, you're screaming, during your strokes - it feels like you're an animal, fighting for your life.
believe fighting player
In terms of playing ability there is nothing to choose between number one and 100. Instead, it's a question of who believes and who wants it more? Which player is mentally stronger? Which player is going to fight the hardest in the big points? These are the things that determine who is the champion.
fighting giving hug
When the last point is done, we are humans. Give your opponent a hug and say, ‘great fight,’ and that’s all.
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.
sports father heart
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.
strokes
My strokes just weren't there.
