It's one-on-one out there, man. There ain't no hiding. I can't pass the ball.

I admire the way golfers handle themselves. But tennis players are a lot younger, as a rule. There aren't many teenagers on the golf tour.

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

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

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.

When you come back strong, you are going to have little nagging things that you can usually play through, but every now and again, it is to the point where you can't play.

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.
