On his motivation to achieve success in 2013
“I was really getting ****ed to see who’s in the Top 100. There are some guys who I don’t know who they are. Some guys, I’m sorry–with respect–they can’t play tennis. I don’t know how they got into the Top 100. I think I’m much better than them. It’s a motivation.”
On why he thinks he will have a good 2013
“I quit a lot of stuff in my life. For example, smoking, drinking, staying up late.”
On what he likes about Rotterdam
“I like that the marijuana here is legal. I’m for that. Unfortunately tennis players cannot do that, but I like the way of thinking.”
On his 2010 Los Angeles loss to Alejandro Falla
“Nothing worked today. I was just running like a Spanish clay court player standing on the baseline and pushing the ball back. Women’s tennis.”
On how he beat Federer
“I think I beat Roger Federer because I ate scrambled eggs in the morning.”
On how he found energy to win his next match after beating Federer
“Well I found energy because I really like doing these interviews, because I get my childhood dream to be a pilot. I feel like a pilot right now.”
On the comparison between his Rome matches against Federer and Nadal
“I don’t like losing. I like winning. I don’t like to lose beautiful matches. I like to win ugly ones.”
On the Madrid courts in 2010
“I came here early; got used to the courts because they are not really straight. They are like playing on a mountain.”
On Rafael Nadal’s mentality
“He thinks how to kill his opponent. He’s got a different mentality. Mine is closer to that of Marat Safin.”
On Fabrice Santoro
“He is a disgusting player. Even though outside of the court, an awesome dude.”
On what he did during a rain delay in the middle of the 2010 Delray Beach final
“I scored 18 free throws in a row during the break. During the rain delay. 18 free throws. Usually I do a couple hundred.”
On an incredibly high racket-toss at the 2009 Auckland event
“I can throw it much higher. I was just scared to throw it somewhere over. Because once I throw it over the fence and I got a $2000 fine. I don’t want to pay it anymore, so I’m trying to keep it in the borders of the court.”
On spending a night in a Stockholm jail for soliciting prostitutes
“It was great. It was great fun; a very funny time. But I’m never going to go to Sweden again. If you go out and meet some girls, and immediately you’re put in jail, that’s not normal. It was very funny, though. I think everybody should go to jail at least once.”
