successful player
I'm the most successful bad player ever.
play water tennis
No, actually I wanted to play five. I definitely wanted to try to lose that fourth set and test the waters in the fifth.
tennis want being-played
I don't want to live and die with every point that's being played out there now. I'm going to let my coach live and die with every point.
team home player
There's no home team in tennis, no built-in fan base, so the players have to step up and do their fair share.
sorry player tennis
Almost everybody's here doing the same thing. Who am I to come up with an excuse when there's 64 other players here doing the same thing? 63 others, sorry.
player lists return
It's pretty high up there on the list. Being able to return a serve at that speed is one of the biggest things that separates the professionals from the recreational players.
team opportunity play
I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get.
player league down-and
He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.
player emotional
I'm an emotional player ... I like to leave it out there.
play waiting cards
Why would I get a wild card into an American tournament, (as the) top-ranked American? Why would that happen? That makes too much sense. Maybe I should play more Davis Cup, that's the story. Oh wait, I do.
years play long
I'm just glad to see that Pete (Sampras) shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger (Woods) or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to tell them differently.
stupid player mph
I've become better at the net. I've got a 135 mph serve so I'd be stupid not to follow that in. Overall I'm a better player than I was last year.
home player thinking
Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.
anybody best care decision felt health keeps knows playing prospects rest
To his credit, he knows how to take care of his body. He knows better than anybody else what keeps you out there at 35 years old and still playing well, ... He made a decision that he felt was best for his health and for his prospects the rest of the summer.
