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.
In the middle to late part of the third set, the sciatic nerve in my back started to get inflamed and it sent pain down my right leg and it got worse by the minute,
In every match I play, I grow in my appreciation for this opportunity, this chance to be out there playing at the U.S. Open for another match, another time,
I had his back against the wall to some degree but he just figured that to be a cue for him to do something else,
I just couldn't get my teeth back in the match. I started second-guessing my shots. I never found the pace I was looking for. I played too big some points and some points I would try to control a bit more. Then I'd give him too good of a look.
I just kept working hard. I'm in the finals, that's awesome. I'll be out here tomorrow, and I will let it all out.
I just don't believe there's anybody out there that can put up the numbers Roger has put up over the last two and a half years.
I just don't think you should have one unless you win it.
I plan to return to the court as soon as my ankle is fully recovered.
If there's one thing I learned in Paris, limping around in front of the world is not a comfortable thing to do.
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.
