We're going to come down to South Florida really early and visit her family, as well. And I'll be preparing for what will hopefully be a great week and a great year.
Listen, James is an easy guy to like, and he's an easy guy to root for, ... If he's getting the better of me, if we happen to play, you know I couldn't wish it for a better person. He deserves support. I just hope it will be a great standard match.
It's been a tough road, but it's been a great road. Roger played way too good today. Congratulations Roger, well done.
It's been a tough road but a great road,
This certainly isn't easy to do at any age, especially at 35. It's been a privilege to play against many of the greatest players over the decades and Roger has been one of the most enjoyable to play against,
This certainly isn't easy to do at any age, especially 35. It's been a privilege to compete against so many great champions over the last couple of decades or so. 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.
It's a great sign. I've trained hard. This is why you work so hard, so that physically you can do it. Something like a nerve, you never know when it's going to be an issue. I'll keep my fingers crossed from this day forward. I play by different rules now. My body plays by different rules. I need to listen to that.
It's not ideal to have three five-setters going into a final, ... but I felt pretty decent out there in the fifth set. I stepped it up when I needed to. It's not ideal but it's a great problem to have. I'd sign up for the chance to be in the finals anytime. And I might just surprise you. Mentally, just being out there will take care of that. Physically, I'll be able to make someone earn it.
It makes me feel great I can play five sets without that pain. That's certainly a good indication that everything's holding up,
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,
Oh, how do you find words for what this means? This has been some of the greatest memories I've ever had on the court, ... I'll have these memories the rest of my life. Being in the finals at 35 just means you're going to have to put up with me a lot longer.
Thank you, New York for the last 20 years. It's been a great ride.
Pretty amazing. I don't know if I can put in context how this compares with some of my greatest experiences on the tennis court, but I know it's right up there, because this is what you work so hard for.
A great coach can lead you to a place where you don't need him any more.
