Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.

The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.

I enjoy hitting tennis balls. I haven't lost any of the innocent parts of tennis. I just do it in front of less people.

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.

Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.

Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.

I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.

To stay interested in tennis, I have to mix it up with other things.

I'm really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that's really important.

Like many men who play tennis, when I hit a ball into the net, I tend to look daggers at my racket, reproaching it for playing so badly when I myself have been trying so hard.
