More matches are lost through carelessness at the beginning than any other cause.

I don't think there has been enough communication between the players and the tournaments. In one sense it's just as much the players' fault. Players talk between each other and in the locker room about things that can be improved and then when the time comes to talk and really do something about it they stop.

Even the greatest player of all times loses sets or is down in a match. It just shows that, you know, a win is never guaranteed. It shows all of us that we have to work for every point, fight for every point no matter what.

Most ball games are lost, not won.

I don't spend a lot of my time in the locker room. That's my least favourite place in the world.

The most important competition is always the next match.

You shouldn't have any betting in the locker room at all, whether it's baseball or it's horses. You can't beat the horses. You can't beat any kind of gambling because they have the odds.

Wins and losses just blur into one as you move around the world playing matches.

Well, the memories were obviously - every match is important, every point counts, especially the last sort of 18, 20 years when the matches have been so tight.

From one match to the next, I kept on winning.
