I think I'm both lucky but also unlucky, because sometimes I miss so many matches.
Gael Monfils
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 always ran very fast and jumped very high but when I was about thirteen it was more of a choice between football and tennis, and I went for tennis.
Everybody's talking a lot in my ear, so it's tough sometimes. I try to stay with my team in my bubble.
I'm a competitor so when I need to, I just fly.
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.
I've been around watch factories and had the chance to visit some factories.
People say, 'You slide too much.' I try to change a bit, just to see the difference, and it's very bad. The faster and easier thing is to slide. To me, it's a gift, it's natural. It may be different, but I'm me.
Asics shoes are known to be the best in the world and I am sure they will limit some of the injuries that I had before.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Luis Suarez all play at a really impressive level and are consistently excellent.
I'm happy. I'm always with a smile.
I create because I don't want to lose, and the ball is dead only on the second bounce.
When I say that I want to win Roland-Garros, it's hard because I have practically as many chances of winning at EuroMillions. You have to beat Rafa who has never really lost at Roland Garros and whom I have never beaten on clay.
I really hope to do something in the watch industry.
When the guy is too good - you know, playing clean and you're playing very bad, I mean not that good - you need to change.
For me, it is easy, I love sport. Tennis is something I enjoy. I love playing tennis. For me, working out is pure pleasure, every day if I could play tennis, I would love it. I have been doing this since I was 2 1/2-years-old, it is quite easy.
I am strong, the crowd makes me even stronger when they are on fire, I love to be with them, they give me focus so I just relax and play.
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 create music; I create painting; I create whatever I want to create. I create, what you say, clothes. I create, I don't know, dance move. I create anything.
Having someone to drive me was good for me.
In juniors, you travel with about 12 other players and you all go to the same tournaments and practise together so it's like being with your friends.
Some people will say about me, 'If he was more serious he would play much better tennis.' But I would be different. Maybe I would not have my instincts right. And if I'm too crazy, it's not good either. So the balance is never easy to find. I am as I am.
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.
Asics has a machine that measures every single angle of my feet. With this information they made customized shoes for me and I have felt great the minute I put them on.
Football is definitely present in the tennis world. Given the mix of nationalities that exists in the changing rooms, there's inevitably a bit of a rivalry between the players, especially in terms of the UEFA Champions League or competitions in which national teams compete.
I'm way more serious than I look.
When I dive for a ball I'm not diving because it looks spectacular - I'm trying win the point. When I jump it's because it's easy for me to jump. I'm not being cocky but because I can jump higher than other people it looks more spectacular. Other players smash but I go higher so it looks different.
I have always known about the quality of Asics products, so when they approached me, I was really receptive. They explained what they would like to do with me, both in terms of design and marketing activities around the world. They came with a long-term approach, which is very rare in this industry, which appealed to me a great deal.
I love London and Wimbledon but the problem is that I'm not very good on grass, that was the hardest in the juniors for me, but the 02 should be fine as it's on hard court.
Sometime haters would say or misunderstand how lucky I am to doing what I'm doing, to be healthy and play my sport and passion.
I think it is never easy to play a quarterfinal against a French guy, you know.
I used to have a poster of Arthur Ashe in my room. To play in his stadium is fabulous. It has a special meaning for me. I do feel the connection.
I think I know how to try to play the best, and to play the best sometime is to improve.
I love to play big matches. I think it's that that keeps the fire in me, keeps me on alert.
Make no mistake, shoes are very important, almost as important as the racket. You need to feel comfortable; you need to be supported by the shoes.
I don't really like to run on grass.
I love the game. I love waking up every morning with the goal to win a Slam for the first time.
Well, sometimes I just feel like I want a Coke, you know? And I drink a Coke.
I like to play with a free mind.
Each sportsman behaves differently.
I was very creative when I was a kid. Doing so much stuff, I think that creates a different coordination.
Everybody talks about talent. But talent is not only athleticism. It's not only tennis shots. It's everything. It's the attitude you have about life.
It's always an honor to play on Arthur Ashe stadium.
I think it's not very enjoyable for me to move on grass and play because I'm thinking too much!
When you change, you change with what you got. What I got is my speed. I got a little bit of my instinct and flair.
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.
I'm a good tennis player, and I've never done so good on grass.
Davis Cup is important.
When you have movies who help, who give belief and show strength, it's good.
Well, I'm never on time.
