In tennis, because of the way it’s scored, I don’t think that scoring one point out of luck is ever decisive in winning. But, of course, it depends on the moment.
I was shy when I was a kid, I was very shy, but now I think I’ve improved a lot. I can speak OK with the media and with the people. My English is still bad but I feel a little bit better now than before.
I used to wear sleeveless T-shirts all the time on court, but now I’ve got a brand new look – I’ve moved on to polo shirts. Sleeveless T-shirts give you real freedom of movement and they keep you cooler in matches, but I just thought it was time for a change.
I like a lot of sports. Especially football – it’s my favourite sport. My uncle played football in Barcelona for nine years and played for Spain in three World Cups.
I am very lucky because when I come back home, I have a completely normal life. I can relax, playing golf, fishing – doing what I want. I know when I finish a tournament, I am going to relax at home.
I’d rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.
We’ll try and be very aggressive, we’ll try and speed up and change gears, and we’ll see who’s going to win.
Last four months were great for me, was probably one of the best four months of my career, playing unbelievable in the clay court season.
I’m only superstitious on the tennis court.
I’m always searching for new music, and I change what I listen to on a regular basis.
It’s more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery.
I think I am a complete player. I can play well on all the surfaces. For me, the clay might be easiest, but I am not a specialist on clay.
I’ll never have a tattoo – I just don’t like them, and when you’re old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don’t like them on men.
However great your dedication, you never win anything on your own.
I doubt about myself. I think doubts are good in life. The people who don’t have doubts I think only two things-arrogance or not intelligence.
I like fishing. Not actual fishing – I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It’s different.
Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions.
I love the crowds in Miami. I feel that is one of the tournaments where I get more support. That helps me a lot.
New York is a special place; it’s a city that I love.
If you are playing bad you are going to lose here, on clay, on ice, or on the beach.
