doctors goes hear level maybe negative reach sort thinking tough
When doctors say, 'It's going to be very tough for you, maybe not to quit, but to reach that same level again,' that's very frustrating to hear. In a way, you hear it, and it sort of goes in and out because you don't want to keep thinking about the negative thoughts.

Maybe it wasn't my time yet in those Grand Slams. Everything happens for a reason.

Maybe it was going too easy for me. I hung in there and I ended well, that's the most important thing.

I will rest for the most part, maybe do about 20 minutes of ball-hitting. The main thing is to get my body right for the next game.

I see myself stopping in 2007 or early 2008 after the Antwerp Diamond Games. Maybe I will still play the Diamond Games in 2008 as a goodbye tournament, but that will be it.

When you play someone like Lindsay, you have to play some of your best tennis, and I did that for a while. I was playing really well, just not consistent enough.

We were talking even when we were walking on the court, ... It was fun. Afterwards, in the locker room, as well, we were chatting. That's how it should be.

When I was younger I used to have little aches and pains but they always disappeared, ... fling.
aggressive errors gets hitting match means playing produce step sure winners
You have to try to make sure that you are one step ahead, ... That means I'll probably have to take some more risks. That's how you're going to produce errors from the other side, if you keep playing aggressive tennis. If you're going to let her get into the match by just hitting winners all the time, that's when she gets confident.
aggressive ball hit mix moment serve
Everything has to be right tomorrow, ... I have to serve well, I have to hit the corners. If you don't do that, that's what she does...From the moment I get a shorter ball and have a chance, I have to play aggressive and mix it up.
add improve percent
Every month, I have to improve and I have to add something. I'm going to try to do it for two more years, try to give myself 100 percent and then we'll see where it goes.
