But why should I read what somebody else thinks of my life when I know the real story?

Playing in front of 25,000 people and millions more on television, and performing and doing what I worked so hard to try to accomplish was, in my opinion, the ultimate. Do I miss it? Of course I do.

I am not looking to be understood or liked. Like me or not, I don't care. I am an outsider, that is the way I was brought up.

People say I'm around because I have a lot of heart, but I know all the heart in the world couldn't have helped me if I wasn't physically fit.

With everything else that would swirl around me when I got involved in it, tennis was my main concern.

I think my greatest victory was every time I walked out there, I gave it everything I had. I left everything out there. That's what I'm most proud of. I can't go win Wimbledon anymore, so if what I've done in the past is not good enough, let it go. Because I'm certainly not sitting around thinking about it.

I like any title with the letters U.S. in front of it. To me, the U.S. Open is the most important tournament in the world.
