There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.
You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.
A man who wins, is a man who thinks he can.
I fear no one, but respect everyone.
When you're good at something, make that everything
Tennis can be a very frustrating sport. There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it. You have to put in the hours because there is always something you can improve. [Y]ou have to put in a lot of sacrifice and effort for sometimes little reward but you have to know that, if you put in the right effort, the reward will come.
Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that's when you start playing your best.
I always believe if you're stuck in a hole and maybe things aren't going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.
The more I lose, the more they believe they can beat me. But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me.
I am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.
I definitely feel there's room for improvement.
The one thing you can do for sure is push the luck on your side
When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.
Success is a nice thing because it always means you've taken a step forward and it gives you a sense of pride, which in turn gives you confidence and experience-a positive circle, so to speak.
Mentally, I'm not ever going to go away.
My game is a lot about footwork. If I move well, I play well.
Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.
Previously I always thought it was just tactical and technique, but every match has become almost mental and physical - I try to push myself to move well. I try to push myself not to get upset and stay positive, and that's what my biggest improvement is over all those years. Under pressure I can see things very clear.
I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.
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.
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.
It's not so simple to just stay in the moment and trust your game and your strength that you can turn it around.
It is always in my mind still that I can crush anybody. That's not an issue. But I think that is the same for most athletes. If you don't believe you can win tournaments anymore, then you can't do it.
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.
When I was 12 years old, I was just horrible. My parents were ashamed to watch my matches. I would play on a court at the local club and they would watch from the balcony. They would scream, 'Be quiet' to me and I would scream back, 'Go and have a drink. Leave me alone.' Then we would drive home in a very quiet car. No one speaking to each other.
