You kind of live and die by the serve.

I hate to lose, and I do whatever I can to win, and if it is ugly, it is ugly.

Once the US Open is over in the States, mainstream America doesn't really follow tennis, unless you are a true tennis fan.

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.

Choking is being in a position to win, and then experiencing some critical failure of nerve or spirit. That never happened to me. And I can't help but think it was because I was never afraid to lose.

It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed.

Most of the time after the US Open, it is kind of like you are trying to finish strong. But to do it five years and maybe six is something that has never been done before, so it is a huge challenge.
