Tennis Canada nominated me a few years ago, and I did some research into it and realized it's one of the biggest honours you can have as a Canadian. I've seen the list of the people, and it's pretty special.

It's important to me to defend the Canadian colours. And I don't just do it in tennis. I might now follow hockey as much as the average Canadian, but I support several Canadian teams. I'm a big fan of the Toronto Raptors. On top of that, I love my country, simple as that. It's a magnificent country; the people are really welcoming.

I'm just glad Open tennis is here. It's great for the game. That's more important.

Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it.

It's just nice to see people enthusiastic about their tennis and want to learn and improve - for me that's the most important thing - I still love my tennis.

I have a passion for playing tennis and enjoy the workload and struggles of performing in this amazing global sport.

I look at tennis as a bit of a platform to hopefully touch lives and encourage people.

This trophy is so special in the world of tennis and it feels great.

It's a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain. Every year it's getting worse and worse and worse. There has to be a radical change, and I hope it will be really soon.

Tennis doesn't owe me anything. Tennis is one of the fairest sports. It's given me so many extraordinary feelings.
