“My mother is Bosnian. Obviously I understand the language. Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, it's all the same.”

“I want to be remembered for as many tournaments as I can win and as many grand slams I can win.”

“I've said so many things in so many press conferences that caused problems. There's been incidents with police and arrests in Miami. Obviously, I did these things and I regret them. Now I'm keen to show people a different side to my personality.”

“I never loved tennis. I am just going to go about it as a job.”

“I just made a million dollars for four days on 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.'”

“I'm not the type of guy who's going to train five or six hours a day. I never needed to.”

“I'm probably going to be retired fishing somewhere in the north of Australia with not a tennis ball in sight.”

“A lot of players are concerned about their ranking; I think you've got to just enjoy the sport and have fun.”

“I managed to break through at the age of 18, and what a tour it was for the first few years.”

“I'm buying everything on the Gold Coast.”

“I'm trying as best as I can and sometimes it comes out the wrong way, which is not good to see.”

“I am always available for selection for Davis Cup. If TA select me, then great. If TA does not select me, then there's not too much I can do.”

“I lost 4.5 kilos in a week. Somehow.”

“It's difficult to get in the top 15, top 20. You have to work for it.”

“If you're not ready then you can play bad, and you only have one shot at the Australian Open each year, so you have to do the best you can.”

“You've always got to think about what you're doing and what the consequences are. Sometimes I don't think like that.”

“Some days on court, you just don't feel it; the other players are playing too good. It's not always going to go your way.”

“I think there are a lot of good players in the top 20, top 30 that are top-10 players. You got to get there. You got to earn it.”

“Look, tennis is a funny sport. I always try to do my best and play as best as I can.”

“Until I am satisfied TA is committed to funding the development of junior Australian talent, including my sister Sara, on a non-discriminatory basis, I do not believe there is any point in meeting.”
