I'm telling you, it's so exciting playing out there because I'm playing well, you have the crowd behind you, and it's such a good feeling. I'm really having a good time out there.

If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.

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.

I'll play as long as I'm still willing to work this much, to do all these sacrifices

I'm always being realistic.

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

I've been here playing against Connors and it can be very, very loud. It makes it exciting at the same time.
