When you retire you want to get as far away as possible from the game for a couple of years.

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.

Anything can happen out there on any court.

Tennis obviously isn't as popular as baseball in the States.

The way I hold the club, I've got my hand way over, like I'm driving a motorcycle. My Kawasaki grip.

It's not my place to tell you whom to vote for, to take any political stand, to tell you what religion to believe in. I'm an athlete. I can influence certain things, but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for, I actually get a bit offended.

Anybody who has played sports and says they have never choked is lying to you.
