Once you get to a certain level, anybody can beat anybody else on any given day.

It's pretty high up there on the list. Being able to return a serve at that speed is one of the biggest things that separates the professionals from the recreational players.

My aggression out there is my weapon. I think it's more letting them know that I'm not going to let them get away with something, and I'm not just going to kind of poke it back and be content to stay in rallies.

My backhand is definitely a lot more solid and consistent. There were times when I couldn't hit it into the ocean.

Tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world because whatever the person does, if it works you just say that's what's good, and if it doesn't work, you guys go, 'He should have done the other things.'.It just doesn't take much thought. If I'm grinding and I'm winning, you guys are like, 'He's reinvented himself.' If I'm playing like crap and pushing, then, you know, 'He's horrible and he needs to hit the ball.'

At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.

There's no home team in tennis, no built-in fan base, so the players have to step up and do their fair share.
