Saturday is going to be a blast. The whole weekend is going to be a blast.
I've said before, I don't know how I'm going to go out, ... I know one thing, if I'm out there playing well and giving something back to the sport, it's going to be hard not to give it more.
I've played No. 1 in the world tennis before and there wasn't a time when I ever felt like a favorite,
So to postpone that, for me, I never really considered it. When it was right, I did it. But that's how I do most things, unfortunately.
Now my hopes are for the U.S. Open. I'm in a much better place right now than I was a few weeks ago.
The momentum Robby had going into the fifth, to me, you never know, it might be last set I play here at U.S. Open.
You step on the court feeling like you have to play a perfect match.
You're here to help the team. I might be called on to do that again on Sunday. I sure hope to do better.
You never know when somebody comes of age or game, ... Some people, it happens a lot earlier than others. ... There's no question he's doing something better than he used to do.
You never know how it's going to be.
You need to play the craziest tennis you've ever played or he needs to be doing something off because you have to do it for such a long period of time.
I got a hundred bucks says my baby beats Pete's baby. I just think genetics are in my favour.
I'm going to go down swinging... I'm sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament.
The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what it is I have found. Over the last 21 years, I have found loyalty. You have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I found inspiration. You have willed me to succeed, sometimes even in my lowest moments, and I've found generosity. You have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams, dreams I could never have reached without you.
