Baseball is America's pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States.
I hate to lose, and I do whatever I can to win, and if it is ugly, it is ugly.
The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.
I've always led a pretty simple life, with few extravagances. The money in tennis never drove me.
I don't think it really matters, who plays first. Whatever they do, they do.
I feel much more respected in Europe than I do in the States from the press and from the people. Americans expect me to win every match I play.
