I've played No. 1 in the world tennis before and there wasn't a time when I ever felt like a favorite,
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.
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.
Ten weeks ago, I didn't know where things were going to go,
I think it would be amazing for the fans of tennis to be able to see them. But first things first. I'd like to see the sport come together to figure out a way to make sure they don't get into the wrong hands.
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.
Let's be clear about something. I wasn't the winner, tennis was. I never felt I was going to win that match but somehow it just fell my way.
I felt like I was playing good tennis and that's a great feeling. It's only the second match, but it's certainly a great one for me.
For 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner - tennis was,
The court was playing pretty fast, it almost felt like playing tennis with golf balls out there. But I am feeling fine physically. I think need a few more matches before I can start competing better.
It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.
Tennis was always sort of a - a learning. It was a vehicle for me to discover a lot about myself. And the things that I sort of discovered at times I not only didn't want to see it for myself but I certainly didn't want millions of people to see it.
Sex doesn't interfere with your tennis; it's staying out all night trying to find it that affects your tennis
Tennis is a very objective sport in the sense that the scoreboard doesn't lie.
