In tennis, yes. In everything else, not very. -- Vogue, June 2009,The problem nowadays is that children have become too much the center of attention. Their parents, their families, everybody around them feels a need to put them on a pedestal. So much effort is invested in boosting their self-esteem that they are made to feel special in and of themselves, without having done anything.
However great your dedication, you never win anything on your own,Enduring means accepting. Accepting things as they are and not as you would wish them to be, and then looking ahead, not behind.
I have no sense of humor about losing,I love the beach. I love the sea. All my life I live within - in front of the sea.
The glory is being happy. The glory is not winning here or winning there. The glory is enjoying practicing, enjoy every day, enjoying to work hard, trying to be a better player 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.
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.
I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.
