On the heels of our new partnership with Tamarack Resort, we felt that the people of Boise would really embrace Rock-n-Racquets, ... Our intention is to bring this unique event to a market that typically has not had the opportunity to see professional tennis at a whole new level.
So I go to the Open with the intention of hopefully bringing some inspiration to those who take a few hours out of their day to come watch me. That's what I look forward to.
My intention is to keep working and keep doing what I am doing, ... The only thing better than the last 20 years (at the U.S. Open) will be 21.
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,

Even a blind dog can find a bone now and then,
First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.
Fatherhood brings so much perspective to your life. You realize that what we do is just hit a ball over a net and where that sits in the scheme of things, as important as it is to us.
There's other guys - I've played a lot of them, I mean, so many years - (against whom) there's a safety zone, there's a place to get to, there's something to focus on, there's a way,
