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

A strong body listens. It obeys. A weak body commands. If your body is weak it tells you what to do. If your body is strong it'll actually listen to you when you tell it to do something. If you build it right you can overcome some of the obstacles of age and recovery.

It never seizes to amaze me how much I enjoy playing here and how much you fans have meant to me over the years.

Pride is bad, stress is good. I don't want to feel confident. I want to feel rage. Endless, all consuming rage.

You've got to believe you can win. But I believe respect for the fact that you can lose is what you always have to keep in mind so that nothing suprises you.

You know my dad pushed me to believe that I was going to be the best. I just never thought of life without tennis, even looking forward.

You'll hear a lot of applause in your life, but none will mean more to you than that applause from your peers. I hope each of you hears that at the end.
