this one really shouldn't get buried underneath the chair throwing stuff, as he really went after a couple of goats.

on Rafa:

"He’s my polar opposite, like literally my polar opposite," he said. "When he wins, it’s fine. He won’t say anything bad, he’ll credit the opponent, ‘He was a great player.’ But as soon as I beat him, it’s just like, ‘He has no respect for me, my fans and no respect to the game.’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about. I literally played this way when I beat you the other previous times and nothing changed, nothing changed.'"

on Djoker:

"I just feel like he has a sick obsession with wanting to be liked. He just wants to be like Roger [Federer]," he said. "For me personally—I don’t care right now, I’ve come this far—I feel like he just wants to be liked so much that I just can’t stand him."

He described Djokovic's arm-hoisting gesture to the crowd as "cringe-worthy," adding that it bothered him.

"Honestly, that’s what I’m doing next time—if I play him and beat him, I’m doing his celebration, in front of him," he said. "He always says what he feels like he needs to say, never speaks his opinion."
