I'm the oldest guy in the field and I was playing until 9.30 the night before.
It would be more interesting, more exciting, if a player lost a point if wrong on the second challenge. It would make the player think before challenging. Particularly in a tie-breaker where every point counts.
A lot of time there is hype and people talking about players when deep down they know it's not going to happen but Murray is really capable of being a great player. He has a way of keeping you off balance and a real feel for the game. Mentally he's proved to be pretty tough and his body has grown as well recently. He plays hard, shows a lot of emotion and is a breath of fresh air. Just the type of player tennis needs.
I haven't seen a professional player come out of New York in over 20 years since my brother Patrick came out. Blake spent a few years in Harlem, but he moved to Connecticut when he was a kid.
Maybe I should have played two more Australians and two less Davis Cups? I could have had more majors and still have three Davis Cups when most people don't have one.
Roddick is already feeling the heat because he took a step back this last year. There's no doubt that if (Federer) plays up to his capability, he's going to win it.
If you want to be a tennis player, then mould yourself on Roger Federer. I won three Wimbledon titles and I wish I could play like him.
He [Roger Federer] is the greatest natural talent in tennis I've ever seen. I love to watch the guy play, he's an awesome talent
If Roger stopped right now and never won another match, to me he'd already be one of the greatest players to ever play the game. To me, he's the greatest all around talent that I've ever seen.
I want to be remembered as a great player, but I guess it will be as a player who got angry on a tennis court.
I think it's the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations.
I'll let the racket do the talking.
That's one of the best sets I've seen him play, although I should preface that by saying I haven't seen him play before.
I want to inspire the old people. The old dog wants to teach the young guys a few new tricks.
