I want to be as self-reliant as possible and do it all from within.

It's hard to give a career like this up, when I tell my wife I'm going to the office, and it's the beach.

I thank my dad for my mental longevity and for the fact we played against better competition.

Practice like it's competition and compete like it's another day on the practice court.

How much we have to hydrate out here in this kind of heat and humidity. I think the most I have ever taken down in one day of fluids is five gallons - a gallon per match. If we didn't replace our fluids, we would probably keel over and die.

When you’ve done everything you can to train yourself for competition, you’ll sleep well when the tournament is over, win or lose.

I don't have to get myself pumped up or calm myself down. As we get into the later rounds of a tournament and there is more at stake, I have even more adrenaline. If we make the finals, it's just an extra opportunity to win a tournament at my age. That doesn't come along that often.
