Hitting a ball dead perfect - the only peace.
The most animated talks we have are about...things
My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was - it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played after school. We woke up. We played tennis. We brushed our teeth in that order.
It's easier to live with disappointment than regret.
First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.
It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.
I envy Pete Sampras's dullness. I wish I could emulate his spectacular lack of inspiration.
Pride is bad, stress is good. I don't want to feel confident. I want to feel rage. Endless, all consuming rage.

Well, you know, I've bonded with a lot of people over the years, you know. We played the same tournaments year after year and we go back to the same place and many times the seats have been full and that has meant the world to me for sure.

That's the greatest applause that any person will ever receive in their life when it comes from their peers
I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start with not caring how I feel.
It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it's easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean, at the end of the day we still got to figure out a way to get through the tie.
