Being Number One isn't everything to me, but for those few hours on the court it's way ahead of whatever's in second place.

I think one of the concerns, anytime you're in the human business, like sports, it's a very high - risk endeavor. You do have to get players every year. You have to deal with calendar. You have to deal with all kinds of things in our sport, like every sport does.

Winning is very tangible, it's very exciting, it's very pleasing, but it's momentary. If you can do things that last, that each generation can build upon, then that's when you're cooking.

Every generation I think gets better usually [in tennis].

I didn't really care if I had a coach that much, me personally, because I was brought up to think for myself.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

You want people to feel like they belong to something. And not be elitist. You don't want us to be elitist.
