David Nalbandian Quotations

Sometimes we get very frustrated here on court. It is tough to control. It is a mistake.

Sometimes the ATP puts a lot of pressure on the players and sometimes you get injured because you play on a dangerous surface. Nothing happens, no one pays for that.

No one is friends with Hewitt and he does not worry me at all.

I am in the semis in a really good shape.

I feel that I can keep going, so I have to keep working, keep playing, keep focus.

I was the last guy to get into the tournament, so it's normal,

I think one has to understand that there are stages in life, and that the life of an athlete has its limits. It's short, and then it stops, and sooner or later you have to accept that.

I think I can win this sort of tournament, ... If that happens, I will be close to the Masters Cup. That's why I'm playing right now, to be able to get there.

I think he's playing good right now. You never know.

The altitude is similar to a few other tournaments.

Unfortunately, I'm not in any physical condition to play. It's a pity I won't be able to play in this tournament, as it is our home tournament.

The strongest feelings I experienced were in Davis Cup. It was the most powerful thing: the victories and the losses. It hits you in a distinct way. It's another level of satisfaction - another level of sadness.

Almost perfect. When he play like this, it's very tough.

There was a lot of light in the arena and I didn't feel comfortable when I tossed the ball, ... It has not been my best day serving, but I did well on the important points.

It was the most important match of the year. I kept focus and when he came back after I was leading 4-0 I didn't lose my concentration. I left everything on court.

I tried to play my game, but I never couldn't make it. So was tough. Was windy. He played incredible. So was really tough.

It's not a bad match to play in the first round, ... I'm not 100 percent to start tomorrow and he's not 100 percent.

It's difficult to compare with last year, but overall I feel comfortable here,

After the tie-break in the first set, the game followed the path I wanted it to take. Now I don't mind who I play against,

I'm very confident we can win and it's going to be incredible.

I'm in semis this year, and I hope to win it.

I'll be damned if I'm going to Houston to sit on my butt for a week.

I haven't played on clay this year - but the clay surface always favors us.

I played well today. I was comfortable although it's difficult to compare my level with last year. But if I keep up this standard, I will be in the final again.

In the beginning, it was very tough, windy. I was a bit nervous. When I got a bit of confidence, I started hitting harder and better, with angles near to the line.

In the beginning it was very tough, windy. Also, Fabrice has a very special game. It's not easy to come and hit winners from the first point.

In the beginning it was very tough, Fabrice has a very special game. When I got a bit of confidence I started hitting harder and harder and got good angles near the line.

I played almost perfect from the beginning until the end. So I'm very happy.

I didn't feel hundred percent yet. In the middle of the third set, I lose power, lose everything, and don't feel good. But, well, that's normal. I was sick in the beginning of the week, so I thought that I was better than I play. I expect to be better physically, but not hundred percent yet.

I didn't spend a lot of time on court, so I am happy for that. I am happy because I played very good. Every round, better and better.

I didn't hear the first warning. He didn't tell me anything.

He's very young; he play very good; he will be more dangerous than today.

I couldn't find my game. His forehand is very good, and he's improved the backhand so much. That's why he's number one in the world.

I couldn't do my best shots in the first set so it was very tough -- both of us had break points but nobody could make it. Then I start playing a little better and my returns come better all the time and he falls down a little bit. I really feel good at start of second set.

For the next time, very important matches or big moments, I will be different on court,

The country to beat now is Croatia. It won't be at all easy.
