I try to do my best to have fun off the court. — © Marat Safin
I try to do my best to have fun off the court.
I try to let the people I do business with off the court know that I'm serious about my business off the court. So I try not to mix the two.
That excitement on the court, I'm the same way off the court. I like to have fun, meet people; I like to give high-fives to the kids courtside. Just have fun. That's kind of my personality, that's how I've been.
I think everything I do in my life I try to have fun, and I try to be creative on the tennis court, outside the tennis court.
I think that's my personality, to have a good laugh and not to take myself too seriously. And of course I have my things on the court but when I'm off the court I just like to have fun.
On the court as well as off the court, I'm going to do everything that's right and try to lead by example.
I try to show a little bit of excitement, only when I'm on the court, but off the court I'm just chill.
I'm going to come in and learn and be the best player I can be on the court as well as off the court.
I'm a different person off the court than I am on the court, where I'm very competitive, a perfectionist, and I can be hard on myself sometimes. Off the court, nothing really bothers me. I'm easy-going.
I'm not the same person on the court. I'm different when I'm off the court. Off the court, I don't need to be aggressive or anything.
If I go down, it's never easy. At least my opponent knows they have to go to the end of the earth to take me out no matter what the circumstances. I do try to compete. Even if it's not your best day, I just try to walk off the court knowing I gave 100,000 percent.
Im just trying to be positive. I like the guys (Im) around. Even though were not at the record Id like to be, even after a loss, guys are mad, but then we have fun and you move on. They look up to me. Ive been around eight years. A lot of these guys were in junior high or high school when I came into the NBA. I see how much of an influence I am off the court. I try to be careful how I approach things on and off the court, because I know these guys are watching.
People are gonna like who they like, there's nothing you can do about it. Just go out there, do what you do best, play your game and try to become a better person on and off the court.
Stay healthy, do sports and above all have fun while doing sport. Competing or just for fun, whatever, simply enjoy and try your best. Working hard, working well with achievable goals normally pays off. Believe in the people that are with you and listen to those who have more experience.
Life has changed both on and off the court after the Rio Olympics medal. I have a lot of confidence on the court now and feel anything is possible. I also feel that I have improved my game. Off the court, I do get recognised more now.
I've grown a lot in my time in San Antonio, both on and off the court, and probably off the court most importantly.
For me it is always fun to be on the court, and fight, and try to get every ball.
