As soon as I step on the court I just try to play tennis and don't find excuses. You know, I just lost because I lost, not because my arm was sore.

From Goran Ivanisevic

It's fun to be there with the guys, to practice with them, arrange the balls, do this, do that, but when you play you can get some of this nervousness out of your system.

From Goran Ivanisevic

Winning Wimbledon was a great feeling and it is still a great feeling. It has given me so much confidence.

From Goran Ivanisevic

It's easier when you play. You get your emotion out. You scream. You yell. You do whatever you want. You play. But it's tough to sit.

From Goran Ivanisevic

I think I owe it to myself and my fans in Britain to play one more Wimbledon.

From Goran Ivanisevic

You can't slow the game here. It's grass, it's always going to be fast.

From Goran Ivanisevic

Although we didn't have much when I was growing up in Split, Croatia, my parents always tried to ensure that my sister and I had the things we needed, and it was enough for us.

From Goran Ivanisevic

While I didn't have everything that I wanted, I was still a happy kid.

From Goran Ivanisevic

At her birthday, my seven-year-old daughter will say that she wants these big cakes and certain expensive toys as presents, and I can't say no to her. It would just break my heart. But when I was little, for birthdays we just played outside and we were happy if we got any cake.

From Goran Ivanisevic

If you are given a lot of money without having to work for it, you won't appreciate it as much as if you made it yourself.
