In order to be the best, you have to be around the best.

Tennis is my dream. It is what I love. And it is what I want to be best at.

I would love to have a beautiful family one day, to win Slams. I'd love my kids to see me play before I retire.

I think the first step is definitely Top 5. From there, you can sort of see the end, and that's the top. In order to do that, you need to win Slams and big tournaments. That's just proven. There is no other way.

I really believe that I can be the No 1, but for that to happen, I probably need to win a couple of grand slams, and they are not going to fall from the sky.

I'm a very creative person in general. I like to create stuff in my downtime off the court.

I'm the kind of guy that I cannot just lock myself in the room and just think tennis for 24 hours.

I like to stay away from that red carpet world unless I absolutely have to do it. I'd rather put on my Tom Ford suit and take a few pictures at home.

I love tennis. But even if I become the greatest of all time, I still don't only want to be defined by tennis. I'm my own person. And I want to be remembered as I really am.

There is no shortcuts. Play your best tennis, give your heart out, and anything can happen.

One of the scariest things for any athlete, I think, is pretty much the off season.

After Wimbledon is one of the only times you can take time for yourself.

Tennis is great, but it doesn't necessarily define me.

My favourite designer was Alexander McQueen. His lines were different every time.

Sure, I can afford a nice car and a nice place, but this is not what brings me happiness. Now you're on a high, and people know you and things like that, but how many people will remember your name once it all stops and the money isn't raining from the sky?

I don't want to say 'gullible,' but when I saw someone, I always thought that person is the way they present themselves.

The majority of decisions, I've always taken by myself.

I can play on grass - when I won Junior Wimbledon, that was an unbelievable feeling, I could not believe that I had won the tournament, as Wimbledon is like the holy place of tennis.

There is always a dream, for me, in the locker room before matches as well during the day. If you have a strong mind, a strong tendency to keep you strong, I think your dream is coming.

I have always been an admirer of Feli, Feli Lopez. He's just - I mean, every time - he's, like, fit and good and his long hair and the beard.

As long as I don't overindulge, it's OK for me to eat burgers and ice cream occasionally. As for alcohol? I've never tried it.

Sometimes, I have to beat myself first in order to beat the other guy. And that sucks. I'm not gonna lie. But that's me.

Once the opportunities knock on your door, you've got to try and go get them. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But at the same time, you've got to keep going.

At the end of the day, health above all.
