It's really disappointing to miss this year's tournament and I was really looking forward to playing again in the Bay Area.
It's probably a sign that, you know, things need to change somewhere for guys to feel better about their physical ability to get ready for a tournament this big.
That stat alone is pretty crazy. You're talking about the best that are left in the tournament and he's winning that many times in a row.
That stat alone is pretty crazy, ... You're talking about the best that are left in the tournament and he's winning that many times in a row.
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.
I'm going to go down swinging... I'm sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament.
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,
Andy had number one in his hands the whole week,
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.
