I'm going to have to pick my shots and play great tennis.

Tennis is at an amazing time when you've got two of the best players ever to play the game. You can argue the two very best playing in the same generation. It's a rivalry I think that we've never seen in our sport.

Few of us are granted the grace to know ourselves, and until we do, maybe the best we can do is be consistent.

In tennis you're on an island. Of all the games men and women play, tennis is the closest to solitary confinement.

Pride is bad, stress is good. I don't want to feel confident. I want to feel rage. Endless, all consuming rage.

You've got to believe you can win. But I believe respect for the fact that you can lose is what you always have to keep in mind so that nothing suprises you.

It's easier to live with disappointment than regret.
