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.
We are coming to play San Jose for one reason -- to win the SAP Open doubles title. Jonas and I are not doing this just for fun. We think that this will be great for the game of tennis.
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.
What is the single most important quality in a tennis champion? I would have to say desire, staying in there and winning matches when you are not playing that well.
We all choke. Winners know how to handle choking better than losers.
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.
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 would be lying to you if said I'm not thinking about it.
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.
