The serve, I think, is the most difficult, you know, in terms of coordination, because you got the two arms going, and you got to toss it up at the right time so.
I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.
What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.
I can't stay No. 1 for fifty years, you know. We'll see what happens.
Simple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically...
Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.
I would so like to be Lenny Kravitz.
Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.
I always knew I had something special.
I have to fit holidays around tournaments, particularly the grand slams, in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York.
I don't know how you can go through a four-hour match with Rafa and he never gets a time violation.
Mentally, I'm not ever going to go away.
I'm proud to be a symbol like the army knife or the mountains.
I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn't stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.
