If I don't do what I need to do to win, I won't win, no matter who is on the other side of the net.
I'm going to have to pick my shots and play great tennis.
You don't cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is.
Freed from the thoughts of winning, I instantly play better. I stop thinking, start feeling. My shots become a half-second quicker, my decisions become the product of instinct rather than logic.
This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others.
Being number two sucks.
There’s a lot of good waiting for you on the other side of tired. Get yourself tired..
My feelings are Yevgeny Kafelnikov should take his prize money when he is done here and go and buy some perspective.
Tennis is at an amazing time when you've got two of the best players ever to play the game. You can argue the two very best playing in the same generation. It's a rivalry I think that we've never seen in our sport.
Hate brings me to my knees, love gets me on my feet.

Nothing can substitute for just plain hard work. I had to put in the time to get back. And it was a grind. It meant training and sweating every day. But I was completely committed to working out to prove to myself that I still could do it.
You have to have the mentality of executing your game when you don't feel like there's a lot of hope. I think the best feeling is when somebody pushes you to the limit and you dig down a little bit extra. By the same token, you also need a little luck. Sometimes they come together.
Tennis is the loneliest sport
