asked learn plays pulls whatever whoever
We will do whatever we need to do to have him ready. I asked him just a little while ago, 'At 35, what are we going to do?' And he said 'I don't know, I've never been 35 before.' He said, 'Let's learn together. 'We'll have to see how he pulls up in the morning, how he feels. Whoever he plays he's going to be ready.
coming darkness doctor french hear knew louder open paris truly
Coming back from Paris after the French Open this year, that was darkness, because we truly didn't know what was to come. You hear the whispers, some louder than others: 'Is he finished?' All we knew was that it was not going to be a doctor who said he's finished.
andre hamburger high hot needed
That was a high in all ways. Andre was tested, he was put on the hot plate. ... We just needed to go find a hamburger somewhere.
win
I would look over there and say all is well. Win or lose, all is well.
career certainly depend ending fragile option period pull risky state
We can't depend on the cortisone shots. There was something transitional about that period that cortisone was appropriate. We had to pull him off a career ending state of mind. It's too fragile an option and certainly a risky option.

I can honestly say he's in the best physical shape of his career and has never trained as extensively or intensively.
bad hurt hurts matters
If this didn't hurt so bad, then we probably shouldn't be here. It hurts, it hurts real bad because it matters so much.
crazy
We're not crazy about the cortisone, but it allows us to work.
andre coming earned feels
It's always been like coming home. Andre feels he has earned his place in this family.
plans
It's just not in our plans yet to retire.
fact healing luxury matter sad seemed sure
Yes, it sure seemed that way. The sad fact of the matter is that, at 35, we don't really have the luxury of healing time.
andre feet sure uncharted
We're in uncharted waters. We don't know how Andre's going to feel. You can get Andre off his feet so that shuts down the body, but how about the mind? That's what we have to try to come up with - I'm not sure if we can find a way.
agreed help three
We agreed that I'd help him for three months, and that was 16 years ago.
feeling few magic moments
Just for those few magic moments today, this place was rockin', this place was rockin'. The magic was there, the feeling was there.
