I hope (my fans are) excited. I don't get to be in too many finals any more.
I really, really want to. I plan on it. I'm optimistic about it. But I have to also call it like it is right now. Is it possible that I can't anymore? It's definitely possible.
I really, really want to. I plan on it. I'm optimistic about it.
I prepare to be there under any circumstances, which in many years has been less than ideal,
In your first match it's always a bit awkward, it's the new year and you're getting used to conditions,
I never heard a crowd like that in my life, ... That was some of the best energy I ever felt ... You get so inspired, the hair on your body, the back of your neck, is standing on end.
I'm trying to figure out where I would need to stand on the court to have the same trajectory,
I'm unsure about what I'm going to be doing in a month, let alone a year from now. But as of now, my intention is to keep working and keep doing what it is that I do. The only thing better than playing at the US Open for 20 years in a row would be to play here for 21 years in a row,
I need to work, and this is my work, ... I'm a tennis player, and I'll do it as hard as I can as long as I can, from how I see it right now.
I'm the best over-30 player, so it doesn't matter.
If there's one thing I learned in Paris, limping around in front of the world is not a comfortable thing to do.
Once I got the break, I got into a better rhythm in the second set. He did not serve a high percentage of first serves in and I was returning well.
If you don't understand the mentality of the people, if you don't understand the people, you don't appreciate the city, you don't appreciate playing here.
If you could start the point off from the baseline, it would be a very one-sided match,
