The great part about tennis is you can't run out the clock.... As long as we were still playing, I had a chance.

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

Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.

I've been criticized for not having perspective in the past and I thought that of myself many times but not there.

To be inspired - that's the secret.

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.

Tennis is the loneliest sport.
