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.
This is what you work so hard for. This means as much to me as being in the finals.... There are few moments that can be this special.

Without exception, Roger has been one of most enjoyable to compete against. Thank you New York for the last 20 years. It's been a great ride.
Somebody or something has to truly represent the better interest of the sport, ... It's important for there to be resolve.
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.
