What distinguishes tennis is respect for one's opponent, one's conduct on the court.Collection: Tennis
I just try to win the match by fighting for every point, and running down every ball.Collection: Running
I am afraid of a lot of things. A dog. I could be afraid of a dog that's upset, for example. And on the tennis courts, maybe on the outside I look fearless, but on the inside, I'm scared. There's not one player in the world who isn't nervous before matches. Especially important matches.Collection: Dog
I became a player who goes to a lot of effort while training, who can rely on his will and his mental strengths.Collection: Player
Certainly I would like to have some of the qualities of other players and obviously from Roger Federer. But believe me, there are plenty of other abilities that are important, particularly mindset and strength.Collection: Believe
My uncle developed the training philosophy. His idea of good tennis training is basically quite simple: you must try to gain time.Collection: Uncles
I have always tried to avoid regrets. Could I have done differently some things in my career? Maybe.Collection: Regret
I am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldnt have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made.Collection: Soccer
When one gets beaten by somebody better, one has to know how to lose with humility. Sure, I could have served better. Sure, I could have hit my forehand harder. But the truth was this was like an avalanche, and there was no way to stop it.Collection: Humility
Confidence is the most important thing in this sport, and the confidence from winning Wimbledon would make it easier to win the Olympics, too. Either would be very difficult, both even more-but the player who wins Wimbledon will be the favorite for the Olympics. It can happen.Collection: Sports
He's a fantastic player and he's going to be around so much longer so I'm happy with every one I get before he takes them allCollection: Player
Most important thing, I am not a player who win the serves because I serve aces or free points, no. When I winning a lot of serves is because I am playing well from the baseline. That's why.Collection: Player
Win 10 times in an important event like Monte-Carlo is something difficult to describe the feeling. Every year have been a different feeling. At the same time is always a unique moment every time I have this trophy with me.Collection: Winning
If you are healthy, you can work. If you can work, then the chances of success are higher.Collection: Healthy
I don't expect never an easy match. I always expect difficult matches.Collection: Easy
I do notice that I am tired.Collection: Tired
I think is about confidence. Is about doing the right things. Is about being healthy. Is not about if I want to work or if I don't want to work. Is about if I can work or if I can't work.Collection: Thinking
Everybody likes to say that Roger Federer is the Greatest Player of all time because its so nice to watch him play...but you have got to throw in Nadal's Mind as well...and That's the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!Collection: Nice
I take pleasure in tennis and the hope that it requires.Collection: Tennis
Is always the motivation to play better and better. But I think we are in a very good way to keep winning matches. That's most important thing for me.Collection: Motivation
The US player Andy Roddick reaches speeds of 220 kilometers per hour when he serves. If I train with him every day, I will later be at an advantage against a player whose service crosses the net at 190 kilometers per hour.Collection: Player
