It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it's easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean, at the end of the day we still got to figure out a way to get through the tie.

Big dreams are so damn tiring.

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

I got a hundred bucks says my baby beats Pete's baby. I just think genetics are in my favour.

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

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.

It has meant a lot to me to challenge the best players in the world and to beat them. And it means a lot to me to be out here and fighting for the title and, you know, it hurts not to win it.
