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.

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.

When you retire you want to get as far away as possible from the game for a couple of years.

Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.

After I went through two years of not winning an event, what kept me going was winning one more major. Once I won that last U.S. Open, I spent the next six months trying to figure out what was next. Slowly my passion for the sport just vanished. I had nothing left to prove.

That's not what I'm looking forward to, just being home and just kind of not really sure kind of what to do with myself.

I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.
