By putting pressure on myself to develop a great game, I had less pressure to win. These days, I tell kids that the way I grew up, it wasn't about winning. It was about playing well, about playing the "right" way. That approach helped me enjoy the game and develop mine to its maximum potential.

My serve was there, everything was just clicking. Those are the days you dream about, especially in a final.

I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches.

When you go through certain moments of your career and you're struggling, it just takes time. Time heals, when you're a little bit down.

It's not my place to tell you whom to vote for, to take any political stand, to tell you what religion to believe in. I'm an athlete. I can influence certain things, but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for, I actually get a bit offended.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf.

I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve.
