Almost everybody's here doing the same thing. Who am I to come up with an excuse when there's 64 other players here doing the same thing? 63 others, sorry.

I always said if I had to pick one Grand Slam to win, it would be the U.S. Open.

I don't care when people use the term 'one-Slam wonder' with me.

There's no home team in tennis, no built-in fan base, so the players have to step up and do their fair share.

I think I've always had a decent perspective on wins and losses on the tennis court.

One of the cool things I remember is the Swiss people brought their big cowbells.

I don't know that I'll ever be the guy who needs to go to a tournament to be seen and to spectate. I feel like I can accomplish spectating from home.

At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.

I'm just glad to see that Pete (Sampras) shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger (Woods) or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to tell them differently.

The key to the match might have been his serving. Maybe I should have concentrated harder on watching them go by me, I don't know.

He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.

I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.

Having two older brothers is a healthy reminder that you're always closer to the bottom than you are to the top.

I used to, like, hit for a half hour and then go eat Cheetos the rest of the day, come out and drill forehands. Now I'm really trying to make it happen, being professional, really going for it, and I miss my Cheetos.

Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.

I still don't believe I won the U.S. Open. It's so far-fetched for me.

I've been good about keeping my nose to the grindstone.

The whole point of team competition is to pick your teammates up.

Why would I get a wild card into an American tournament, (as the) top-ranked American? Why would that happen? That makes too much sense. Maybe I should play more Davis Cup, that's the story. Oh wait, I do.
