I would be lying to you if said I'm not thinking about it.
I am not a monster. I'm not all bad. Maybe 10 percent. I think I'm 90 percent good.
I'd like to think I could have and should have won more, but that's not the point. And I was at the point where I was playing great tennis in the mid 80s - the type of tennis people hadn't seen before - and I was very proud of that.
Borg's won Wimbledon four straight times and out there he has just lost an 18-16 tie breaker. You'd think maybe once he'd let up and say forget it. But oh, no way.
I think it's the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations.
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.
It would be fitting; I hope he does it. For a country like Croatia, it would mean even more than when I did it for the States.
Most guys would like to play the guy they have the winning record against. That's what you love about Roger he embraces the challenge.
When I was 25, if you'd have said I was going to be a commentator, that would seem like, 'Oh, my God. That's a huge step down.'
If anyone's been listening to my commentary the past year then they know I'm in favor of using replay. I think it will make tennis more interesting.
I'd love to see a seniors event at U.S. Open in singles, not just hit-and-giggle doubles.
Simply the fact that (Agassi) has put out more and James is fresher coming in.
I felt like I had it in me, but I didn't know quite what was going to happen.
We've come this far so we might as well go all the way.
