I am really close friends with Roger Federer and also with Benoit Paire.

I think almost every player has a few very good friends on tour. Mine are: Yves Allegro, Roger Federer, Michael Lammer, and Ivo Klec.

I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches.

My favorite tennis player, who I'm amazed by, is Roger Federer.

I love seeing tennis up close.

My hero is Roger Federer.

Last time I was starstruck was when I met Roger Federer. He is one of the few athletes that I really look up to - incredibly talented both on and off the track and a great role model for tennis.

I'm actually a pretty good tennis player!

It's important to understand that you have to dedicate time to your sponsors, to have relationships with the people and the media, but it is also hard when you are first coming up and your primary focus is on tennis.
