Occupation: Tennis Player Birth: August 8, 1981
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..
You live during the match, and you have strong emotions, but you don't want to get too overexcited. My body's totally flat now. I cannot move anymore….
I was aware of how incredible the match was. Unfortunately there had to be a winner. From my point of view many left feeling sorry for me instead of ….
Winning or losing, it's always something special and something you'll remember, even more so when the match was as dramatic as it was today. It's eve….
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 r….
Every match I go into, I'm the huge favorite. I lose a set and it's, like, crazy..
The problem is not the claycourt. The problem is, you know, rather something to do with the conditions on center court. Because I've played well on S….
When they [court announcers] say, 'This is the world No. 2,' it just doesn't sound right to me because either I'm No. 1 or I'm a grand slam champion.….
I am thinking more and more about what I want to and can do after my days as an active athlete. Thoughts like family and marriage also cross my mind ….

Once you reach a good level in tennis it fills you with a lot of motivation. I hope I can do it for a long time..

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much ….
I have a very strong opinion. I'm absolutely against it. I'm against the challenge system. I'm for the way it is right now. Don't change that..
It's just unreal, I'm shocked myself. I've played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody..
When I think of the Olympics I only think of good things. I think of what a great event it is and what it has done for me and my career, and changed ….
You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it..
With all the injury problems we have in men's tennis at the moment, I'm happy to still be standing..
