Stan Wawrinka

“Once you are on court, everything is different. I focus on the match.”

“I never dreamed to win a Grand Slam. It was never a dream because, for me, it was way too far.”

“Those big matches, when you go through so much, are the best thing. Those matches are why you play tennis.”

“Sometimes we have a match at 11 in the morning, sometimes at 9 P.M. We need to always be adapting; we don't have a match at the same time every week, so it's important to be open with everything.”

“It doesn't matter the way you're playing, especially the beginning of a grand slam. It doesn't change anything.”

“I just have to play my best game. Not think about anything else - that is the only concern I have and that we should all have.”

“The schedule is tough in tennis.”

“I never expected to win a Grand Slam because, for me, I was not good enough to beat those guys.”

“Tennis is a big puzzle. It's not any more physical or mental; you have to have all the pieces first, and then you have to put all the pieces together. For me, it took me time.”

“If you want to beat the No. 1 player in the world, you have to give everything.”

“I like Chennai very much. The atmosphere is always great, and the fans are amazing. That's why I keep coming back.”

“I have many good friends on tour.”

“When you don't play those big matches for a few years, it's tough to play back-to-back after that.”

“If you start to hesitate with your game, if you start to not go completely with your plan, then it's tough to play your best tennis.”

“My body is for my tennis - it's for my sport. I'm not a model at all. I don't work out to go to the beach: I work out to play well and to do well on the court.”

“I always try to find the positives in losing a match, but it's not always easy.”

“All you can do is trust your game and not wait for the opponent to give you the match.”

“The first years when I came to New York, everything was too big and too much. For me, it was too difficult here, but bit by bit, it became one of my favorite places.”

“Queen's is one of my favourite tournaments of the year.”

“Put the fight on the court, and you will have a chance to win.”
