The game is choreographed; it is mental, it is physical, it is a battle. People can feel those hits when they are in the stadium, you feel them and you see the velocity of the players.

When you win, nothing hurts.

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.

And you fall, and you crawl, and you break, what you get, and you turn it into honesty and promise you're never going to find you're faking, no no no.

My serve and my forehand I pretty much always had, but my backhand was a made backhand. I worked on it for years.

Working under the Soviet system made you very paranoid - people were afraid of everything - and this paranoia is still in people's minds.

The gospel costs nothing but it demands everything.

My dear sir, it haunted me for the rest of my life.
