But, I would say when I was four years old and I was at the Alan King Tennis Tournament and I was hitting with all the pros that would come to town. They would get me on the court or take notice and that stayed with me.

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.

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

Sometimes it's just harder to remind yourself about what you're doing and why you're doing it... Other times, you have a great desire for it, but physically you're not responding the way you want. That presents other challenges. Then sometimes it all comes together.

I suppose you could never say never, but my experience would tell me that the most successful players in the world are gonna come from an environment that is more competitive at an early age.

Hitting a ball dead perfect - the only peace.

Tennis is a very objective sport in the sense that the scoreboard doesn't lie.
