Saint George killed the last dragon, and he was called a hero for it. I've never seen a dragon, and I wish he would have left at least one.

The stuff that I write doesn't work very well as background music. You have to watch it from beginning to end and pay attention as if you were watching a play.

Unlike in my young days I'm not able to eat, drink and sleep tennis.

This trophy is so special in the world of tennis and it feels great.

Tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love - the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature.
