It feels amazing, ... This is why you work so hard. These moments don't happen very often anymore. I'm taking it in, and it's feeling pretty good.
It feels like there are not a lot of guys who play the game he (Dent) does and if you're not on your game he's one of the worst to play,
It's been a long time since I've felt good on the court. It's just getting tiring, that's all. It never feels good when you're losing often. You know, to have a few good wins and have a good tournament would help me, remind me right now why I'm doing this. But as of right now it's hard to feel that thrilled about it.
It's all a bit surreal, ... I get out there and I try to work and I come off the court and many times in my career I feel like it's been a dream. That's the way it feels here.
Some moments it feels longer, other moments it feels like it's flown by; you can't believe you've done it all that time... Overall, you have a strong sense for the full spectrum that you've sort of traveled.
I feel old when I see mousse in my opponent's hair.
He's been playing well the whole year, so to come here and play a great match against him feels like a real achievement.
That's an amazing thing. I've been through a lot of things in my life. A lot of things have taken me away from the lines of a tennis court. But it's never taken me away from here. Twenty years here feels better than 19, so thank you.
I've said before, I don't know how I'm going to go out, ... I know one thing, if I'm out there playing well and giving something back to the sport, it's going to be hard not to give it more.
I've played No. 1 in the world tennis before and there wasn't a time when I ever felt like a favorite,
I settled down on my service games and my ground strokes, put enough pressure on him to get that break.
I've been thinking that for four years. You never know when it's your last go,
It would be great to win, but I have no interest in putting a nice little bow around my career and handing it over to anybody,
