Big dreams are so damn tiring.

My accomplishments do not live up to my tennis game. Most people have to work really hard and win some big matches, and then they get money and popularity. For me it has been the reverse of everybody else. The exact opposite.

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

I can live with losing, I can't live without taking my chance.

Success doesn't always come in the form of a trophy. Keep striving for success.

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.

You have to have the mentality of executing your game when you don't feel like there's a lot of hope. I think the best feeling is when somebody pushes you to the limit and you dig down a little bit extra. By the same token, you also need a little luck. Sometimes they come together.
