Hitting a ball dead perfect - the only peace.

First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.

I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.

Tennis is one of the only sports in America where the sport doesn't grow with the size of the person - it just forces you to swallow the whole pill.

The great part about tennis is you can't run out the clock.... As long as we were still playing, I had a chance.

Life will throw everything but the kitchen sink in your path, and then it will throw the kitchen sink. It's your job to avoid the obstacles. If you let them stop you or distract you, you're not doing your job, and failing to do your job will cause regrets that paralyze you more than a bad back.

There's a lot of good waiting for you on the other side of tired. Get yourself tired.
