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

I'm not the savior of men's tennis in America. I'm just a kid trying to win a few matches.

You know, you can only throw in so many haymakers before one misses and you get knocked out

I want everyone to look back and think that I was awesome.

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'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.

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.
