I don`t know why, but I love the dog eat dog nature of tennis. It`s real, it`s brutal and there`s no hiding place - it's like a one to one street fight. I love the intensity that comes with knowing you walk off court either a winner or a loser. It`s daunting but very exciting. There is no one to blame except yourself, no one cares who comes second.

The way I hold the club, I've got my hand way over, like I'm driving a motorcycle. My Kawasaki grip.

Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.

The future is flying home. That's the immediate future. But long-distance future, I plan on being back. I'm not going to end my time here with that loss.

People wrote me off, but I believed in myself. I got the confidence back, and it grew and grew. I won my first major and my last at the place that changed my life.

I didn't have a big fat Greek wedding, but I have a lot of fat Greek friends.

I did it my way, and I have no regrets when I look back on my career that it was just a big focus for me.
