I admire a lot of people, but in terms of sport I’ve always loved the mentality of Tiger Woods on a golf course. I always love his eyes when he’s setting himself and focusing on his decision; he has a really strong, focused face and believes that he can make the shot.
I am No. 8 in the world. I am not No. 100.
You know, a lot of things changed. What never changed is the illusion to keep playing tennis, the illusion to keep doing well the things, and the illusion to be in a good position of the ranking and play these kind of matches.
I don’t have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.
I have the same bedroom I’ve always had. It’s clean and tidy when I get home, and after two or three days it gets messy and my mother nags me.
I play because I have fun, if I don’t have fun on the court, there is something wrong. I am just a 19 year old boy that likes to do what he likes, nothing else.
It’s hard to say, ‘I don’t believe in God.’ I would love to know if God exists. But it’s a very difficult thing for me to believe.
I have always tried to avoid regrets. Could I have done differently some things in my career? Maybe.
I have lived my whole life with high intensity.
I live where I would like to live. I live in Majorca, Spain, and I am not sure there are better places.
I tried to find a solution to the problem that I had, tried to find a way to start playing better.
My motivation is tomorrow, just one day at a time, right?
My tennis is aggressive, though I wouldn’t say that it’s more physical than technical. I rely more on technique than physique, but being physical is always a help to me.
It’s not the time to look for excuses.
It’s the same old story, all you think about is money.
If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.
Always I believe that I can play better. But I am happy.
I’m delighted and feel incredibly happy with what have been an amazing two months.
I feel that love. I feel that energy. I always felt that energy when I’m playing in New York.
I just wanted to see how the shorts felt again.
