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

Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years.

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.

When I committed to playing a little tennis in some exhibitions, it was the best thing for me. It got me in shape. It got me out of the house. It got me doing something I love to do.

Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.

Winning is about taking your opponent's heart out and squeezing it until all the blood has come out, even the very last drop. There are no prizes for a funny loser.

Success is walking out of here with the title, and anything less is not good enough in my book.
