I'd rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.

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

New York is a special place; it's a city that I love.

I have the same bedroom I've always had. It's clean and tidy when I get home, and after two or three days it gets messy and my mother nags me.

I think when you compete every week, when you play under pressure daily, you find your rituals to be 100 percent focused on what you're doing.

I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court.

I will do as I usually do. Tomorrow is going to be a day like any other day.

I was shy when I was a kid, I was very shy, but now I think I've improved a lot. I can speak OK with the media and with the people. My English is still bad but I feel a little bit better now than before.

The family is very important. They make me feel good always because if I won, when I started to be famous, the relationship never changed with my friends and family.

I'm ambidextrous when I eat. But playing tennis right-handed - I can't do it. I'm clueless.

I just was in the second round. That's painful, because always is tough to lose, but well, that's sport. You win, you lose.

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

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 doing is a model, or is an example, is the right example, I am very happy, but I don't pretend that.

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

I'll never have a tattoo - I just don't like them, and when you're old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don't like them on men.

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 losing - get easier.

My parents' divorce made an important change in my life. It affected me.

Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge.

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.

I am lucky because my family are comfortably off. My father has his own glass business.

I like a lot of sports. Especially football - it's my favourite sport. My uncle played football in Barcelona for nine years and played for Spain in three World Cups.

Every year I go to Broadway to see a musical - I like the music. I saw 'Mamma Mia;' I saw 'Les Miserables;' I saw 'Phantom of the Opera' like six, seven times.

I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.

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 English. However, it is difficult, still, when I speak about something that is not tennis.

I am decidedly unfriendly during a golf game, from the first hole to the last.

Is only a tennis match. At the end, that's life. There is much more important things.

You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there.

I'm really, really emotional.

I am a guy who likes to do what I am doing with passion, whether it's a soccer match with friends or golf.

You fight, you try your best, but if you lose, you don't have to break five racquets and smash up the locker room. You can do those things, but when you've finished, nothing's changed. You've still lost. If something positive came from that, I probably would do it. But I see only negativity.

My motivation is tomorrow, just one day at a time, right?
