The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.

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

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.

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

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.

It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed.

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.
