“I hope the better I speak French, the better I will play.”
“It's mostly that I hope when I lose that I learn, otherwise it's even tougher to lose because I lost for nothing.”
“For me, the most exciting thing about Laver Cup is always the team spirit, because it's very rare that I get to play team competitions in tennis.”
“I'm a specialist at hard court.”
“Honestly, I felt like I was always a happy person in life.”
“I don't have a goal to win 21 Grand Slams and to be No. 1 in the world for, let's say, 37 weeks.”
“There was a moment when I was not confident in myself. I was doubting a few things about my physical abilities, my tennis abilities. I was in doubt, which is what tennis is all about.”
“You show a tennis ball to 100 people I'm sure some of them are going to say it's green, and not yellow. I think it's yellow. If somebody tells me it's green I'm not going to, you know, get in conflict with this person.”
“People beat Novak. People even beat Rafa on clay, which is almost impossible but some players do. It's the same about Carlos.”
“Sometimes I need to switch off and I like being competitive and am not able to play tennis 15 hours per day. Where else can I be competitive? I feel like I am quite good in gaming and it helps my career sometimes.”
“I'm able to have different styles in my game.”
“We grew up together, in a way. Me in terms of rankings and Tecnifibre in terms of a company. I only wish growth for both of us.”
“On hard courts I feel the most fluid.”
“I like Novak. I appreciate him as a tennis player. And I should say as a person.”
“I would love to win at the O2 with the spectators, I'm sure it's even more of a special feeling.”
“Me, at 15, I was probably not even 300, top juniors.”
“I didn't have a lot of arms, weapons, to win when we were really young, like 9, 10 years. I didn't have any weapons to win the match sometimes. I was always on practice trying to play aggressive, maybe going to the net and stuff like this.”
“I know that every referee is trying to do their best.”
“I feel the best game on hard courts, even if I know that I can play well enough on grass and clay.”
“When I see myself in photos or videos, I'm like, 'What am I doing?' But that's how I play, and hopefully some people enjoy it.”
