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.

I'm an emotional player ... I like to leave it out there.

The whole point of team competition is to pick your teammates up.

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

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

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

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