“I play not just tennis but also football, basketball and also did judo.”
“You know, when you make the show, honestly, it's to entertain, but it's to win. So what's the point to make the show and lose actually?”
“Yeah, I just a lucky man.”
“I think I'm both lucky but also unlucky, because sometimes I miss so many matches.”
“I always ran very fast and jumped very high but when I was about thirteen it was more of a choice between football and tennis, and I went for tennis.”
“I'm just saying sometimes great to play smaller court, with the crowd very close. We can feel their energy, the passion, yeah, the love in it. I love it, to be honest. It's great.”
“Asics shoes are known to be the best in the world and I am sure they will limit some of the injuries that I had before.”
“I think I know how to try to play the best, and to play the best sometime is to improve.”
“For me tennis is a sport, you know? It's not a job, it's a sport.”
“I think when I dive on the court, I dive not for people. To be honest, I gonna hurt myself for people?... I dive because I want to win the point.”
“I create because I don't want to lose, and the ball is dead only on the second bounce.”
“I love the game. I love waking up every morning with the goal to win a Slam for the first time.”
“I love London and Wimbledon but the problem is that I'm not very good on grass, that was the hardest in the juniors for me, but the 02 should be fine as it's on hard court.”
“Grass is not natural for me, but I am getting better. I have to focus on not falling, not injuring myself. I cannot take off as fast as I want to and I have problems braking.”
“I try to do what I can do best.”
“I'm not a sore loser.”
“If you want to do big things, it's never easy.”
“Well, sometimes I just feel like I want a Coke, you know? And I drink a Coke.”
“When I'm on the court, it's a blessing.”
“I'm just myself on the court.”
