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

It's always been eclectic; you never know what you're going to get.

I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.

Remember this. Hold on to this. This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others. This is the only thing we can do that has any lasting meaning. This is why we're here. To make each other feel safe.

It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it's easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean, at the end of the day we still got to figure out a way to get through the tie.

To be inspired - that's the secret.

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