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.

The trouble with experience is that by the time you have it you are too old to take advantage of it.

Nothing's perfect along the way [in life], and you ride the ups and downs. It's how you come out of those and continue on that I guess really matters.

I was never part of the crowd.

I hate to lose more than I like to win. I hate to see the happiness on their faces when they beat me!

Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible.
