"I was in the tennis bubble. I wasn't thinking about the big picture. I didn't notice what they said on television, I wasn't reading any papers. I had a coach and a manager, and they kept me in the bubble."
Reading
"I want to be a hero, a small and good kind of hero, even though I know heroes have very short lives."
Heroism
"I believed in raising my children as I had been raised."
Family
"It's silly to say it about a tennis player, but I'm an unbelievable hero in Germany. And Germany needs heroes more than any place."
Heroism
"Does anyone ask their parents how they are conceived?"
Parenting
"Where do you go when you're the best in the world? What's next?"
World
"How do you build a relationship when you've hardly shared a word but suddenly share a child? How do you love a daughter you don't see for nearly two years? When does she become your daughter? How does she become your daughter?"
Love
"I don't really care what the man on the street thinks. I never did anything to please him in the first place, and I'm not going to start now."
Care
"When you are thrown onto the stage at 17 in such an enormous way, it becomes living on the edge because every step you take, every word you speak, every action you do becomes headline news. And it became, for me, life or death."
Death
"So this is it. Match point for eternity."
