Chris Bowers speaks to Swiss number 1 Marc-Andrea Huesler about life as the top-ranked Swiss male tennis player and how he copes with the different levels of the tour.

DANIIL MEDVEDEV ON HIS GROWING APPRECIATION OF CLAY COURTS - ‘Friendship, I don’t think I love it, I love hard courts, my only love, in tennis of course, but I definitely like clay courts much more now’.

HOLGER RUNE ON HIS DESIRE TO BE THE BEST - ‘If you try to see always the big picture, rather than the small picture, you will understand why I have to do this. Without tennis I’m sure I wouldn’t have the same mentality as I have today, so it’s kind of built who I am and I fell in love with it from the beginning’.

STEFANOS TSITSIPAS ON SACRIFICES - ‘I have been very professional in my everyday life and somehow I wish I could be more relaxed in that sense and let go, but at the same time it’s a blessing that I get to be so professional and get to experience pressure in my everyday life, because I feel it makes me better, but there are times when you get fed up with the routines’.

FABIAN MAROZSAN ON HIS VICTORY OVER ALCARAZ - ‘Everything was perfect, the crowds, the weather, it was amazing and I don’t know what happened during the points. I just hit back every ball and just tried to do my best and it just happened, so I don’t know what to say. He’s the best in the sport so I’m really happy about this’.

MAGDA LINETTE’S COACH MARK GELLARD ON HOW TENNIS SHOULD USE DATA MORE - ’Tennis is quite far behind in a lot of these things and I think as coaches we don’t use half the resources we should be using and a lot of it is how we interpret the information. What I’ve done with Magda the last few years if focus less on the opponent and instead focus on what we do well. Statistics are good for two reasons, they tell you what almost always happens and what hardly ever happens’.

FELICIANO LOPEZ ON NADAL - ‘I feel sad that at this stage of his career he can’t do what he really loves to do, which is playing tennis. I saw Roger Federer last year when he had to retire and the way he did it was very sad and I just hope this isn’t going to be the same for Rafa and whenever he recovers from his injury it’s going to be great news and I just want him to play tennis and finish his career on his own terms and I don’t think it’s going to be nice to see another case similar to Roger’.

JANNIK SINNER ON HOW PLAYERS VIEW THE ABSENCE OF RAFAEL NADAL - ‘You can see it from the draw, when you see Rafa or Novak in the draw it makes a little bit of difference for sure because you know what they are capable of, but in another way, slowly the new generation is coming to mix up the draw, so it is good’.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC ON THE NEW GENERATION - ’New generation is here already. Alcaraz is number one from Monday and I think it’s good for our sport that we have new faces and new guys coming up, it’s normal. I’m personally still trying to hang in there with all of them and I still have the hunger to keep going, so let’ see how far I’m going to play’.

NICOLA PIETRANGELI ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIS PLAYING DAYS AND TODAY - ‘It’s a different game. Before you had to know how to play tennis, this is a physical game. Before you had talent and then you became an athlete, today you’re an athlete and if you have talent it’s better’.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC ON HIS BIGGEST RIVAL - ‘I can’t take anybody else but Nadal as my biggest rival, as long as Nadal is playing, as long as I’m playing, Nadal is always my biggest rival regardless of the ranking or what’s going on on tour. I have tons of respect for Alcaraz and there’s some other players, but Nadal and myself go back a long time, so definitely he comes in front’.

CARLOS ALCARAZ ON WINNING THE LAUREUS WORLD BREAKTHROUGH OF THE YEAR AWARD - ‘It was amazing but it was crazy for me to receive that big award and being surrounded by great athletes, great people, it was unbelievable for me. As Federer, Rafa, Djokovic did, they won multiple Laureus Awards, but the big ones, but starting from the bottom, it’s great to represent tennis’.

FABIO FOGNINI ON RETAINING THE FIGHTING SPIRIT - ‘The last few years after my injury and after the pandemic of course, I didn’t win so many matches, but I want to make a present to myself and I don’t want to close my career with injuries. I have something special here in my head, so I would like to fight until I reach this goal’.

JANNIK SINNER ON HIS SELF-BELIEF - ‘I have a different mindset and I’m not scared to say that I can win big, big matches. I’m here, I can do it, but you have to have the right respect for every single player and emotional-wise it’s not easy, but I want to push myself to the limits and I know I can show some very good tennis’.

LORENZO MUSETTI ON HIS MEMORIES OF WATCHING FEDERER IN ROME - ‘I have one picture in my head that reminds me of me watching Federer playing doubles on the courts that are now practice courts and I was looking at him like my inspiration and now when I play on that court, I always remember him playing there and moving and having the steps on court where I’m going now’.

LUCA NARDI ON LEARNING TO ADAPT HIS GAME AT THE START OF HIS CARRER - ‘For sure my gaming is changing a little bit. I learned to be more of a defender sometimes because I work a lot physically and I won a lot of matches when I didn’t play that well but I had the physical power’.

ITALIAN TENNIS FEDERATION’S LUCA SBRASCINI ON GETTING KIDS INVOLVED IN TENNIS - ‘We’ve had 60,000 kids during these two weeks and for us that’s a big success. The secret is to create an event, within the big event and our main objective is to involve a lot of kids, we reach out to clubs and schools and we have a lot of projects that we involve within these events’.

STEFAN EDBERG ON ROME - ‘It’s a good place to place to play, you know you feel like tennis belongs here, it’s like playing at Wimbledon, that’s where tennis belongs as well and there are certain places in the world where you feel that this is special and this is one of the places’.

STEFAN EDBERG’S RECIPE FOR SUCCESS - ‘Well first of all you need to have good people around you and you need to have a vision and you need to have a team that looks after you on and off the court and you need to keep your passion going, but you also need a little bit of luck’.

CARLOS ALCARAZ ON RETAINING HIS MUTUA MADRID OPEN TITLE - ‘For me it’s so special to lift the title here in Madrid, in front of my home crowd, in front of my family, my friends, it’s a thing I will never forget’.

JOURNALIST DAVID AVAKIAN ON JAN-LENNARD STRUFF’S REMARKABLE RUN TO THE FINAL IN MADRID - ‘He told me that he wasn’t an early riser like Carlos is, he wasn’t that good when he was younger and he’s been putting his game together over the years, 2019 is a year that he keeps pointing to as a great year for him, so it’s just a very careful way of building a career’.

JANNIK SINNER ON LORENZO MUSETTI - ‘It’s always tough to play against a friend and it’s tough for both of us when we have to play against each other. I feel like he is improving a lot and it’s always nice to see where the level is and I have the feeling that every time I play against him I can see where I have to improve and I can give him the same feeling’.

MATTEO BERRETTINI ON HAVING NEVER PLAYED JANNIK SINNER AT TOUR LEVEL - ‘In general our relationship is great, we text each other, we practice together, when we have the chance we play doubles together, so it’s really like a healthy relationship and we help each other to raise our level and that’s why it would be even better to play against each other’.

LLOYD GLASSPOOL AND HARRI HELIOVAARA ON THEIR SLIDING DOORS MOMENT IN ROME LAST YEAR - ‘Without it of course it would have been a different kind of spring because we would have had less points and probably wouldn’t get into one or two tournaments because our ranking wouldn’t have been that high, but most importantly we wouldn’t have had the confidence of beating the number one team in the world’.

Candy Reid speaks to David Witt about what he's learnt coaching current WTA star, Jessica Pegula as well as the things he took from coaching Venus Williams for ten years. In this wide-ranging interview, Candy starts by asking David about his views on Frances Tiafoe performoing the role of hitting partner to Jessica at the United Cup at the beginning of the year.

ANDREY RUBLEV ON WINNING HIS FIRST MASTERS 1000 TITLE IN MONTE-CARLO - ‘I feel a bit looser because I’ve done something that I was looking for a long time and I feel a bit less weight on the shoulder, but there is so much work that I need to do and now we’re already in Madrid’.

ANEKE RUNE ON HOLGER’S DEVELOPMENT - ‘I think for us it’s been step-by-step and now it’s just bigger titles. Two years ago it was Challengers and Future titles, which for us in the team was still big, but looking at his level now, the results match the level he has today’.

HOLGER RUNE ON HIS PASSION - I’ve gotten the chance to show my passion on the court and show who I am when I play and I like it you know. It’s part of my game style to have this energy on the court and I feel good when I’m pumped and I feel good to play this way’.

ALEXANDER ZVEREV ON WINNING TOURNAMENTS MORE THAN ONCE - ‘I think there are places that suit some players better then others and it’s also like a comfortable place where you’re going back and know you’re going to play well. There’s definitely places where you step on the court and you know you’re going to feel better than the previous week.

BEN SHELTON ON GETTING USED TO LIFE ON TOUR - ‘Every place that I get to is a new experience, you know going to the Lisbon airport, that was the first airport in Europe that I’ve been in, but I’m lucky that my coach and physio have done this many times, so to have them with me to help guide me is very, very important’.

DANIIL MEDVEDEV ON WHY HIS GAME ISN’T SUITED TO CLAY - ‘I could talk for hours but first of all you have to adjust to every shot because every bounce could be a bad bounce and you never know when it’s coming and some players are easy to adapt to this, but that’s not my case. I like when it’s a clean stroke and that’s what I need in my game. The movement is definitely different, because you have to slide and be ready for the next shot and that’s what I do not good enough’.

ABDULLAH SHELBAYH ON HIS DESIRE TO REPRESENT ARABIC PLAYERS - ‘I try to not put too much pressure on myself but having Ons Jabeur and Malek Jaziri and Ons as one of the best in the world is very inspiring for me. Honestly to see more Arabic players coming to the tour is very special and I hope I can reach the heights that Ons has reached and even more hopefully’.

DAVID WITT ON ON THE BENEFITS ON JESSICA PEGULA TRAINING WITH FRANCES TIAFOE - ‘We hit with Frances Tiafoe one time and I think it’s good for both of them because Frances is so happy-go-lucky, so it let’s Jess know that you don’t always have to be so serious, but at the same time Jess makes him be more serious, so they bounce off each other’.
