Losing is not my enemy … fear of losing is my enemy.
Rafael Nadal
The great part about tennis is you can’t run out the clock. As long as we were still playing, I had a chance.
Andre Agassi
I’m not lucky. If I play another player, even if I don’t play really good, I think I can win.
Richard Gasquet
You live during the match, and you have strong emotions, but you don’t want to get too overexcited. My body’s totally flat now. I cannot move anymore. I’m totally exhausted, just because of the tension out there.
Roger Federer
I don’t care now if I ever win a match in my life again. Whatever I do in my life, wherever I go, I’m going to be always Wimbledon champion.
Goran Ivanisevic
I remember as a kid, I was improvising and making little trophies out of different materials and going in front of the mirror, lifting the trophies and saying ’Nole was the champion!’
Novak Djokovic
The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.
Pete Sampras
When you start from nothing, when you come from nothing, it makes you hungry. I am proud of where I came from and I know what I want. I want to win.
Maria Sharapova
