Athlete

I got into tennis because of my parents. They would play a little on the weekend and I liked it when I played.

Each sportsman behaves differently.

Honestly, I keep believing in myself that I can win a Slam. I am definitely sure I can win one. It's just a matter of putting the pieces in the puzzle.

If you want to do big things, it's never easy.

I'm a good tennis player, and I've never done so good on grass.

It's not easy to recover from jet lag.

I'm a believer but to reach the top I have to believe more, endure more. When I do two hours of practice, I need to add 30 minutes more. I need to feel something inside to go further.

I was very creative when I was a kid. Doing so much stuff, I think that creates a different coordination.

I think everything I do in my life I try to have fun, and I try to be creative on the tennis court, outside the tennis court.

Football will always be part of my life. I've taken an interest in it since I was a young boy; my father played, as did I, and I never miss the chance to organise a little match with my friends when my schedule permits it. I also follow the results of the major European leagues quite closely.

I love to play big matches. I think it's that that keeps the fire in me, keeps me on alert.

I like to play with a free mind.

People think that jumping or do trick shot is gifted. Yes, it's gifted but is a lot of work. I won't say I work on the trick shot, but it's like I think physically I'm one of the best.

I create because I don't want to lose, and the ball is dead only on the second bounce.

I've learned a bit about how you make a watch, actually, and it's something that I would explore maybe after my career.

I play not just tennis but also football, basketball and also did judo.

Well, sometimes I just feel like I want a Coke, you know? And I drink a Coke.

I really hope to do something in the watch industry.

When I started to play tennis my mum told me to enjoy.

When I'm on the court, it's a blessing.
