If I had to choose one man to play for my life, it would be Nadal.
The airplane has had a big impact on my life.
One of Nadal’s strengths is that he’s so humble, that he’s surprised at what he has achieved, and that he has never bought into his greatness.
It's a simple question of supply and demand. But all of us are grossly overpaid. I think it's a ridiculous dispute.
I really try not to read the tennis articles, because a lot of times they're guessing at how a player is feeling, and I like to keep myself kind of open minded about how I'm feeling, rather than have someone else explain to me what's going on.
I will do everything in my power to make sure people are aware that our team is out there fighting the good fight for the tennis fans of the United States.
Sports for me is when a guy walks off the court, and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way.
I came in with very low expectations. I've played two rounds of golf in 2006 before this tournament. Curtis and I have ham-and-egged it around here pretty well.
In the beginning, he did everything with the viewpoint of what's in it for Andre. But he transformed himself from just another selfish athlete into a generous, caring, enlightened person, someone who ran away from responsibility and now dresses himself up in it.
I'm not a doctor but it's probably the Achilles.
The match was decided by absolutely top-flight tennis at the most crucial moments -- rather than nerves, rather than bad calls. It was a pure tennis match, in that sense, by two guys who everyone could aspire to be, battling it out in the most sportsmanlike fashion. And it was a truly heartfelt hug afterwards, too. It was a moving match, and they don't come as often as we'd like.
