The man who has done his level best... is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure.

No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.

I'm a professional world champion. Of course if you're a world champion, you're working harder than everybody else. You're making the commitment, and you're making the sacrifices. If it were easy, everybody would be able to do it. Everybody would be able to be world champion, but everybody can't be. Everybody doesn't have it in them.

We knew that you don't get to be world champions without a struggle.

I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win.

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.

Everyone is at their best against the champions.

If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.

To finally become world champion after losing out in three previous finals is very satisfying. It shows that if you stick to your goals and work hard, you can achieve them in the end.

You have to consistently be successful to be one of the top players in the world, and everything is possible in life.
