I try to do my best to have fun off the court.
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.
If you're losing, just be a man; be a man and lose as a man.
I could be the best looking guy in the Duma, but that's only because all the other guys are over 60.
I was very competitive. I hated losing. No matter what, I had to win.
There's a lot of things in life that we don't know why they're coming exactly at this moment.
You cannot take all the chances you get.
You have to wake up and you have to run if you want to survive.
I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.
You cannot change me; this is the way I am.
I didn't change the world.
There is no such thing as a perfect player; it doesn't exist.
You can find flaws in Agassi and Sampras, but Federer has none.
I've had a lot of luck. If I didn't I'd be washing bottles in Russia.
Probably I'll not be so successful if I will keep everything in myself inside of me.
One of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move.
All in all, I think Kazan is Russia's sportiest city after Moscow, leaving all the others far behind.
You're playing or you're not playing. If you're playing, so just shut up and play.
Me, I don't need money.
Whenever I am losing, it's like, 'It's his fault'. And whenever I'm winning it's like, 'That's us'. That's the team, the people.
Everybody is smarter from outside of the court.
I could go and make commercials left and right and pretend like I am a celebrity, but that is not me.
I'm not fighting with myself.
