When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

I've been good about keeping my nose to the grindstone.

I'm just glad to see that Pete (Sampras) shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger (Woods) or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to tell them differently.

I'm convinced being a tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world.

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

One of the cool things I remember is the Swiss people brought their big cowbells.

No, actually I wanted to play five. I definitely wanted to try to lose that fourth set and test the waters in the fifth.
