A strong body listens. It obeys. A weak body commands. If your body is weak it tells you what to do. If your body is strong it'll actually listen to you when you tell it to do something. If you build it right you can overcome some of the obstacles of age and recovery.

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.

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

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

Nothing can substitute for just plain hard work. I had to put in the time to get back. And it was a grind. It meant training and sweating every day. But I was completely committed to working out to prove to myself that I still could do it.

If I've learned nothing else, it's that time and practice equal achievement.

People who are interested with me have for sure gotten older over the years, for example, grandparents are coming up to me telling me they grew up watching me.
