Why'd you leave the match, huh?

There are people who love you and people who hate you, but for me, more so, people only think they know me by how I act or perform on a tennis court.

I feel like when I'm match tough and match hard and played a lot of matches I got that competitive winning spirit going and I can get on some rolls like I did last year. I won San Jose, Indian Wells and made the semifinals in Miami so it can happen for me.

I've probably put up with more criticism than a lot of people out there. At the end of the day, you block out everything, especially with your personal life.

(Andy Roddick's) a different kind of guy. I don't spend a lot of time with him. His coach in the past (Tarik Benhabiles), I didn't have a lot of time for at all. He was a bigger problem than Andy.

He's up there. But (Marat) Safin, on his game, is as hard to beat.

I'd much rather win in three or four sets than go the distance all the time. I seem to put everyone through the wringer quite a bit.
