I feel old when I see mousse in my opponent's hair.
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,
He's been playing well the whole year, so to come here and play a great match against him feels like a real achievement.
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.
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.
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.
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.
While I know that taking injections is not a way of life, I'm only looking at a few years, so that's a reasonable approach towards it.
To see 20,000 people out here after 1 o'clock in the morning, I wasn't the winner,
To say it (the injured hip) was 100 percent would probably be overstating it but to be able to have the time to get it better up to this point is a great sign that it will be 100 percent.
I got a hundred bucks says my baby beats Pete's baby. I just think genetics are in my favour.
I'm going to go down swinging... I'm sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament.
The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what it is I have found. Over the last 21 years, I have found loyalty. You have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I found inspiration. You have willed me to succeed, sometimes even in my lowest moments, and I've found generosity. You have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams, dreams I could never have reached without you.
