I always knew I had something special.
Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.
You know, I don’t only play for the record books.
I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.
When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.
Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.
Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that’s when you start playing your best.
I would so like to be Lenny Kravitz.
I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn’t stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.
Simple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically...
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.
I have to fit holidays around tournaments, particularly the grand slams, in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York.
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 right time so.
I used to do a lot of video analysis early on, but more for pleasure and looking at my own technique.
Confidence? Are you kidding me? I mean, please. Look, some players grow up and play like that. I remember losing junior matches. Just being down 5-2 in the third, and they all just start slapping shots.
I don’t know how you can go through a four-hour match with Rafa and he never gets a time violation.
I went to Phuket already, but would love to go to Chiang Mai one day.
I’m as patient a father as I am on the tennis court. It takes a lot for me to get really upset, but sometimes kids can get you really cross if they really keep bugging you.
I’m proud to be a symbol like the army knife or the mountains.
The crowds are very important for tennis. It makes you play better, but it can also make you nervous and that’s the beauty of it.
