"Our Homeland threatens no one. Greece has not expressed a revisionist speech, has not formulated a threat to any of our neighbors. However, our country is absolutely determined to defend its sovereignty and its sovereign rights. This is the constitutional obligation of the Armed Forces, this is the obligation of every Greek woman and man. On these holy days, along with the wishes, we also send a message of national self-confidence, based on our History, our traditions, but also on our obligation towards the next generations of Greeks."

Federer and Nadal come from two Western powers. I showed up from Serbia and said out loud that I was going to be number 1. The whole system didn't like that: media, sponsors, tournaments. I felt like an unwanted guest crashing their party. It really hurt me back then. They wanted me to play to their tune — be politically correct, fit into their script. It hurt me so much that I even changed my behavior, hoping they'd accept me. In the end, I understood that I had to stay true to myself and accept that some people will never like me. And that's fine. I am who I am and I sleep peacefully.
