As a tennis player, you have to get used to losing every week. Unless you win the tournament, you always go home as a loser. But you have to take the positive out of a defeat and go back to work. Improve to fail better.

Right now, I'm at the top of the world in my game so my focus isn't on when I'm going to end. My focus is on playing the best tennis that I can, and there is no end to that.

Tennis is my life, obviously; I need to focus, I need to win. But it's not the only thing. I'm not going to play forever.

If I didn't love tennis, I wouldn't be playing. That's also why I don't know how long I will be playing because if I start feeling like this is not what I want to do anymore, that there's not really any reason anymore.

Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.

As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it.

If I stay healthy and I'm playing good tennis I have as good a chance as anybody.

At the end of the day, it's just a tennis match. It's not the end of the world.

Once you succeed in tennis, financially you become quite well off.

I think the tennis is only a game. You can lose. You can win. After that? In life, there are much more important things than tennis.
