Every now and then I will play; I try to focus on charitable work. I might do it because it's an offer I can't refuse, so I rally and try to stay in shape and keep myself active.

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.

Hate brings me to my knees, love gets me on my feet.

I question myself every day. That's what I still find motivating about this. I don't have the answers, I don't pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe something good happens.

You know my dad pushed me to believe that I was going to be the best. I just never thought of life without tennis, even looking forward.

A great coach can lead you to a place where you don't need him any more.

I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.
