I think the image of golfers is terrific, and rightly so.

I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches.

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

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

I don't look so much for tips. But when they interview a Nicklaus or a Palmer, I'm all ears. I listen to guys who have done it, been successful for years.

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.
