You can find flaws in Agassi and Sampras, but Federer has none.

I pass through the difficult moments in life, really difficult times on grass, during my seven years of my career. All of a sudden I felt comfortable.

It's a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain. Every year it's getting worse and worse and worse. There has to be a radical change, and I hope it will be really soon.

It was really impossible to break through in Russia. We couldn't buy any balls. We really didn't have any courts, no rackets, nothing. And no people to practice with.

You have to wake up and you have to run if you want to survive.

There is no such thing as a perfect player; it doesn't exist.

I was making comebacks every single year. That makes it difficult mentally. It causes a lot of stress.

It is very hard for me to switch from clay to grass.

I achieved what I want to achieve and I want to continue doing something else.

New York is a fantastic city.
