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.

I used to go to the US Open on my birthdays and sit in the nosebleeds.

I like grass, I enjoy it and it suits my game.

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.

I cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.

I don't know that I'll ever be the guy who needs to go to a tournament to be seen and to spectate. I feel like I can accomplish spectating from home.
