It's just been terrible this year for the number of players who haven't been ready to play here,
Tennis is at an amazing time when you've got two of the best players ever to play the game. You can argue the two very best playing in the same generation. It's a rivalry I think that we've never seen in our sport.
No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, but tennis players talk to themselves-and answer. Tennis players look like lunatics in a public square.
I suppose you could never say never, but my experience would tell me that the most successful players in the world are gonna come from an environment that is more competitive at an early age.
Tommy is in my opinion one of the best players in the world, he should be up at the top.I'll have to play a good match.
There's always a bit of working out between each player to be done. He got off to a good start and I had to play well to close him out, it felt good to get through that way.
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,
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,
