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

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

I may be a step slower than I was before reaching 30, but I'm doing all the right things. I guess there are some guys who would take it easy in the latter part of their careers, but I'm stepping it up.

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.

My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall. If I can match them for 10 years, I'd be in their company. They were class acts. That's what I'd like to be.

I'm not worried about the weekend, I'm worried about Saturday.

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.
