You don't cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is.

First of all, in any sport where you can measure distance, height speed and all of that, you see how athletes have changed their sport and made it better. I believe, with every generation, the sport has improved. Certainly, in the men's game, that has been the case. I think that I played Pete [Sampras] at his best, I played Roger [Federer] at his best.. I believe wholeheartedly that Roger and [Rafael] Nadal have pushed the game much further than myself or Pete ever did. Their options on the tennis court are considerably more than ours.

What you feel doesn’t matter in the end; it’s what you do that makes you brave.

I don't always choose to stay fit by playing tennis, because that comes with its own wear-and-tear.

I think one of the greatest joys I have now in my career and in my profession is to be playing at an age where I can appreciate it more than I used to... It's a whole different lens you look through the older you get.

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

He thinks it's his day, and when you think it's your day, it usually is.
