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 still don't believe I won the U.S. Open. It's so far-fetched for me.

I'm gonna have to start winning some of the matches to call it a rivalry!

The key to the match might have been his serving. Maybe I should have concentrated harder on watching them go by me, I don't know.

I do understand that when someone gives you a [expletive] load of money, you take that money. Someone like Larry Ellison wants to invest into his event and make it the biggest possible, and he gets stopped by the ATP. If you're a start-up, what would make you want to navigate through that and to go through that firing line? How can you step into tennis with any confidence? It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

Umpiring, the only job in the world where you can screw up on a daily basis and still have one!

I think if I believe in something strongly enough, I'm pretty outspoken about it.
