I normally listen to Spanish music - well, Latin music. I like a lot of singers.
I feel that love. I feel that energy. I always felt that energy when I'm playing in New York.
Always I believe that I can play better. But I am happy.
I'm delighted and feel incredibly happy with what have been an amazing two months.
It's the same old story, all you think about is money.
It's not the time to look for excuses.
It is the small steps which bring you satisfaction at the end of the day.
Since I was a kid, I've wanted to do sports for a living. In the beginning, I played a lot of soccer, but in the end I chose tennis. I love sports in general ... But tennis is my passion.
My tennis is aggressive, though I wouldn't say that it's more physical than technical. I rely more on technique than physique, but being physical is always a help to me.
This is my chance - it's the fourth set. Sure. if I go to the fifth I can win too but I was very near, very near to the victory. I was thinking about the victory, I was thinking about every point I received because he was playing much better and better.
I live where I would like to live. I live in Majorca, Spain, and I am not sure there are better places.
I am going to fight for important things.
I tried to find a solution to the problem that I had, tried to find a way to start playing better.
I have lived my whole life with high intensity.
