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.

Nothing can substitute for just plain hard work

When you deal with somebody in the heat of battle, you see the best or the worst of them. So when you get through all that there is a great deal of respect.

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.

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

I'm going to go down swinging... I'm sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament.

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.
