Stan Wawrinka

Queen's is one of my favourite tournaments of the year.

I was never afraid of getting up early and practice for many hours. I often go to practice very early during winter.

I enjoy Indian cuisine a lot. It's delicious.

I like Chennai very much. The atmosphere is always great, and the fans are amazing. That's why I keep coming back.

To say that I won the French Open, it's something completely crazy.

You can't underestimate rest. Sometimes in tennis we don't realize that to rest your body is as important as it is to practice. We are traveling so much, all year, in different conditions, different courts, different surfaces, different balls - so we always have to adapt.

I like my easy life at home. I like to live in Switzerland. I like to be with my wife, with my daughter, to take my daughter to school, to lead a normal life. I try everything possible to keep that.

I was a little bit lost in my head after winning a Grand Slam. You're like: 'So what's the next goal? What do you want now? Where do you want to be? It's not a problem if you lose.'

As a child, I was lucky to have the support of my parents because starting a tennis career is a very expensive adventure.

I've always been a big fan of Thierry Henry. I enjoy watching all the great players, really. But we're always drawn to some players more than others, and in my case, it's Titi. He's my favourite player. I also really liked Luis Figo when he was at Real Madrid.

I never expected to win a Grand Slam because, for me, I was not good enough to beat those guys.

I like to go to Mauritius on holiday.

I won a grand slam with an Audemars Piguet on my wrist, so I feel it is a great match.

The schedule is tough in tennis.

My parents wanted me and my siblings to practice some sports outside school. And since we lived next to a tennis club, we decided to play tennis. I didn't have an idol, so to speak, but I always enjoyed watching Pete Sampras and Alex Corretja.

I have many good friends on tour.

When I'm back home, I try to do as little as possible because I want to take time with my family. That's the most important thing.

I've always enjoyed playing in Paris, ever since I was a junior and won the junior event there. Being Swiss, this is the Grand Slam that is closest to us - the one we watch first and visit first if we are lucky enough.

My game takes time to adapt to grass; grass is a little bit different.

I love New York. It is an amazing city, and the U.S. Open is a lot about the show. There are tens of thousands of spectators; these are some of the best courts in the world, and there is nothing like being here and making memories.
