sports country giving
Even though now I'm pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport, and I'm very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments, I'm more a person who likes to have privacy and peace.
butterfly thinking giving
It gives me goose bumps and little butterflies in the stomach when I start thinking about the 'golden slam.'
careers giving results
I understand that the results I've had in my career, or I'm having now, they are very good. And that gives me confidence, of course, but I do not feel invincible.
player men giving
I am the greatest tennis player. The other players are like coins in my pocket that I give to a homeless man.
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.
