I did things I should not have done. But people make mistakes, especially at my age, when you feel you are so smart, but in fact you are an asshole.

The game overall has gotten so much better, stronger, more physical parts to the game.

I went through very emotional things this year, like being in the French Open finals already feeling like you got it and kind of losing it.

Right now I like baseball, hockey and tennis players. And horseback riders.

I grew up on the tennis court with lots of other kids. There were like 40 kids all afternoon and I was one of the youngest ones, so I always had to chase everybody to keep up.

And the '99 finals at the French - if I had won that one easily, no one would have talked about it.

I'm not saying I'm something special. I might play a little better tennis than other people, but it is because I was given the chance, and not many people are.
