Quotes

"You kind of live and die by the serve."; "When you retire you want to get as far away as possible from the game for a couple of years."; "The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less."; "Tennis is seen all around the world; if I am home or anywhere in the country, United States, people will stare."; "It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed.";  …

"In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically."; "If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me."; "I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve."; "For so long people have just taken what I do for granted. It is not easy to do year-in, year-out, to win Grand Slams and be No. 1."
