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.

Tennis is seen all around the world; if I am home or anywhere in the country, United States, people will stare.

Retirement is a work in progress. I try to figure out my day, and what I know about myself is that I need structure.

What I've done in the game is always going to stick, no matter what happens.

I made it look so easy on court all those years. No one realized how hard I had to work. No one realized how much I had to put into it. They underestimated my intensity.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

When I tied the record five years in a row, even over in Europe, it wasn't really talked about. It is disap-pointing because it is one of the toughest things to do in sports.
