As long as I feel like I can win majors and contend, I'll continue to play.

There is no doubt about how hard it is to stay on top in any sport, but to do it in an individual sport for the majority of your career, it is not easy.

I feel much more respected in Europe than I do in the States from the press and from the people. Americans expect me to win every match I play.

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.

Tennis obviously isn't as popular as baseball in the States.

My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall.

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.
