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.
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.
country boys play
It was very unusual for a boy to play tennis in my country.
successful player world
You have to consistently be successful to be one of the top players in the world, and everything is possible in life.
winning player tennis
I lost to a better player who played some courageous tennis and deserved to win.
sports player games
Nadal's the best player in history on [clay], and he is one of the best-ever players that played this game.
communication player thinking
I don't think there has been enough communication between the players and the tournaments. In one sense it's just as much the players' fault. Players talk between each other and in the locker room about things that can be improved and then when the time comes to talk and really do something about it they stop.
player years names
This time last year I would have said Federer would beat Sampras's record. Now I'm not so sure. His aura has gone. He's not as dominant as he was, and since I beat him in Australia he's looked frustrated. Players are beginning to challenge him now, especially myself and Rafa. He's got 12 Grand Slams to his name and maybe he will beat Sampras, but now I'm here it will be tough for him.
player games aggressive
I like my groundstrokes, I can say. I like it. That's my game - I'm a groundstroke player and I play pretty aggressive.
winning play forever
Tennis is my life, obviously; I need to focus, I need to win. But it's not the only thing. I'm not going to play forever.
sports winning player
It is my goal to win every time I play. But on the other hand, I also seek a balance of compassion and respect for the other players. I understand that everyone goes through difficult times, either mentally or physically, to cope with their life, to live the sport.
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.
sports grateful play
You can not say you're unhappy because you have to travel, have to play this tournament, having to play sports ... You can't because you chose to play it and you love it. I'm tremendously grateful for the support I have received from my family and the close ones.
