There have been great champions in every generation.

When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

Once you get to a certain level, anybody can beat anybody else on any given day.

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.

I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get.

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.
