I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles.

Where I fall down is my short game. I don't practice enough, and when I have to take a half swing from 50 yards out, that's trouble.

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.

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

I'm maybe not quite as sharp as I used to be.

I've always led a pretty simple life, with few extravagances. The money in tennis never drove me.

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.
