If I can break one out of every three return games, I'm going to give myself a shot in a lot of matches.

He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.

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

I try not to take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time.

I had a very detailed retirement plan, and I feel like I've met every aspect of it: a lot of golf, a lot of carbs, a lot of fried food, and some booze, occasionally - I've been completely committed... The results have shown.

I've pretty much been portrayed as every style thing you can be. After Wimbledon you are Andy Everyman, who everybody is rooting for. I think the meat and potatoes of who I am hasn't been covered yet.

I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.
