In my humble opinion, change is stupid.

In tennis, because of the way it’s scored, I don’t think that scoring one point out of luck is ever decisive in winning. But, of course, it depends on the moment.

That kid ‘ does not ‘ take a bad picture.

I may have beaten him (Federer) three times. But he’s still the best. He’s an unbelievable person, very humble and I admire him a lot.

It wasn’t the best moment to lose my serve.

Two sets behind, he was playing great, … How many aces did he make? … I didn’t even see the ball.

I love to play Federer. If I play him (here) it means I’m in the final.

Gaudio is playing very well. Today he played at an incredible level, especially on his backhand. But I am only thinking of my own game, and of playing well.

I like fishing. Not actual fishing – I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It’s different.

For me, it is important to win titles and for that I need to work hard, stay healthy and be able to compete. The rest, I always say, it comes.

My serve can get better, for sure. It’s not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.

I spoke to him and I asked him how he was feeling with his ankle, he had a problem,

In the second and third sets, I played a little bit more aggressively. I think that was the decisive thing. … When I play well, it’s important for the confidence.

I played more aggressively in the second and third set, that was really effective for me and gave me a lot of points.

I’m disappointed that I will not be able to start the season in Melbourne, but I plan to return to the court as soon as my ankle is fully recovered.

I am very young, and he is an unbelievable player, one of the best in history and the best player now by far. If you look at the rankings, if you look at the points,...

This was the best match of my career. It was such a tough match. I’m so happy to have won, it’s unbelievable.

I’m only superstitious on the tennis court.

Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I’m going to get better that day.

Hard courts are very negative for the body. I know the sport is a business and creating these courts is easier than clay or grass, but I am 100 per cent sure it is wrong.

As long as I am in good form, I am able to win any match on both clay and hard.

I have total confidence that I am going to play well on Saturday,

Carlos Ferrero, Carlos Moya, Gaston Gaudio: these are the best players on clay.

I’m a bit unhappy, I mean it’s just after the match and I think it will take me two, three days to come back and smile again.

More than anything, believe that he can win.

No one is perfect. Everybody does stupid things.

I have been learning English on the road since I started when I was 15, so it is a slow process but making some progress. Now I think I am much more comfortable with my...

I’m delighted and feel incredibly happy with what have been an amazing two months.

I like playing on grass a lot, but I know it’s not my best surface, it’s a little bit fast.

I never thought I would win (this many tournaments) before the beginning of the year.

This year is almost impossible to repeat,

For me it’s another match against the world number one? He’s the best sportsman in the world today. But he’s also a normal person and that’s not easy when you’re the best tennis player in...

I always think about victory. It was very important for me to stay in this final. If I play my best I have a chance (against Federer). I’m going to play aggressively, with determination.

As a tennis player you can win and you can lose, and you have to be ready for both. I practised self-control as a kid. But as you get older they both – winning and...

I don’t have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.

I love the crowds in Miami. I feel that is one of the tournaments where I get more support. That helps me a lot.

At the moment, I can only meet Federer in the final, so I’ve got to win lots of matches. I prefer to focus on me.

The Chennai tournament is a great event and the enthusiasm of the crowds is very encouraging,

It’s incredible to be in the final and beat the number one in the world.

I would love to play Andre, but I know from experience that every match is difficult, … I have a very tough semifinal.

I am very young. He’s unbelievable player. For me, he’s the best, for sure. One of the best in history and he’s the best player now, by far. If you look at the rankings, and...

I cannot win this year but I can play good on grass

I always like to do the things that I think are right. I am not trying to be a model, I am trying to be myself and do the right things. If what I am...

I admire a lot of people, but in terms of sport I’ve always loved the mentality of Tiger Woods on a golf course. I always love his eyes when he’s setting himself and focusing on...

I have no sense of humor about losing

It’s unbelievable. It’s a dream come true. Mariano played amazing tennis during the two weeks and again today,

I did not play very well,

I haven’t played well in Madrid in previous years and I really want to make the final this time.

It was a hard match. Rochus played very well and was aggressive right from the start.

I am young. For me, he is the best ? one of the best in history and the best now.
