If I win and play well, then the ranking will take care of itself. Defending points is really not a problem. Just go out and play and not worry about it.

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

I want to end my career on my terms, not on what people think I should do.

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.

My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall. If I can match them for 10 years, I'd be in their company. They were class acts. That's what I'd like to be.

A champion is suppose to hate to lose, and it wasn't like I was ever crazy about the idea. But I learned to deal with losing without having my spirit or confidence broken, which would help immensely over time, not just in the big picture but even in specific matches when I found myself in a jam. Fear of losing is a terrible thing.

A couple hundred people around, and I'm shaking.
