america pressure london
Maybe if you're playing in London or America, you don't feel that pressure quite as much.
past guy different
(Andy Roddick's) a different kind of guy. I don't spend a lot of time with him. His coach in the past (Tarik Benhabiles), I didn't have a lot of time for at all. He was a bigger problem than Andy.
winning focus roger
I'm an outside chance at Roland Garros but my focus is really on Wimbledon where it is realistically between me and Roger Federer to win.
player tennis littles
Tennis players go into a press conference, and almost every one of them is the same. We do very little differently on a day-to-day basis.
real men games
Ten minutes? That's the women. It's not for the men; not for the real game, mate.
sports games guy
He'll go down as one of the guys who changed our sport in a lot of ways, not only the way he played the game, but also the way that he conducted himself on and off the court.
winning years lasts
I feel like when I'm match tough and match hard and played a lot of matches I got that competitive winning spirit going and I can get on some rolls like I did last year. I won San Jose, Indian Wells and made the semifinals in Miami so it can happen for me.
couple years way
Finally I'm really happy with the way I'm playing again after a couple of frustrating years.
games tennis beats
He's up there. But (Marat) Safin, on his game, is as hard to beat.
leaving
Why'd you leave the match, huh?
hate love-you thinking
There are people who love you and people who hate you, but for me, more so, people only think they know me by how I act or perform on a tennis court.
home half crowds
I have sometimes played my best Davis Cup matches away from home when you stay in the moment a bit more. But it is tough when half the crowd are spitting on you.
distance winning four
I'd much rather win in three or four sets than go the distance all the time; I seem to put everyone through the wringer quite a bit.
school play tennis
I'm not to eager to play tennis in my spare time. I'm more interested in doing gym work and stuff like that. We have a lot of schools and courts around where I live, so if I really want to play, I don't need to go too far.
