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.

This sport has given me so much that my hope would be to give back as much as I can for as long as I can.

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

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

I always felt tennis and winning was a byproduct of doing everything right.

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 had my moments for sure but I wasn't confrontational. And sometimes you get on the court and you'd find yourself very confrontational. It was all a discovery.
