I've been in a lot of trouble and come out of it. I think it shows a lot of good character.

The serve really is the key to my game.

For me, and most of the other players, too, if you had to pick one of the four Grand Slams, you would pick Wimbledon. It's got tradition, it's got atmosphere, and it's got mystique.

A good thing is I've been playing tennis I think every day for the last two months. I really haven't had a day off. I've been doing things that I did used to do.

I'm always being realistic.

If I'm going to be out there, I want to be in the top 10 and really have a chance of winning a Grand Slam.

I had one good racket, a Wilson Javelin. It was my favorite racket, and I made the mistake of putting it next to the heater. It just got so hot that it melted.
