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

I'm enjoying my retirement, enjoying my life. I have two kids and a lot of my time is spent chasing these two animals.

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

My serve was there, everything was just clicking. Those are the days you dream about, especially in a final.

I don`t know why, but I love the dog eat dog nature of tennis. It`s real, it`s brutal and there`s no hiding place - it's like a one to one street fight. I love the intensity that comes with knowing you walk off court either a winner or a loser. It`s daunting but very exciting. There is no one to blame except yourself, no one cares who comes second.

I don't think it really matters, who plays first. Whatever they do, they do.

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.
