It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.

Tennis is one of the only sports in America where the sport doesn't grow with the size of the person - it just forces you to swallow the whole pill.

I'm going to go down swinging... I'm sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament.

This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others.

If I don't do what I need to do to win, I won't win, no matter who is on the other side of the net.

I envy Pete Sampras's dullness. I wish I could emulate his spectacular lack of inspiration.

Now that I've won a slam, I know something very few people on earth are permitted to know. A win doesn't feel as good as a loss feels bad, and the good feeling doesn't last long as the bad. Not even close.
