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 love the beach. I love the sea. All my life I live within – in front of the sea.
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.
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.
Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I’m going to get better that day.
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 started to travel like this at the age of 15 so for me, it’s normal. Some days you get tired and you feel, ‘I want to stay at home a little bit more,’ but it’s only the moment.
I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.
I like fishing. Not actual fishing – I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It’s different.
I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court. Being alone in the dark is something I don’t like.
