No, actually I wanted to play five. I definitely wanted to try to lose that fourth set and test the waters in the fifth.

There's no doubt there are issues with clay. Our issues have issues that are issues right now. That's not a secret.

Call me All-American, but I love Ham and Cheese sandwiches. And not just any old ham and cheese sandwich... My mother's is the best. I've tried many times to make these sandwiches on my own, but it's never the same.

I enjoy hitting tennis balls. I haven't lost any of the innocent parts of tennis. I just do it in front of less people.

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

I definitely think the European weather has more of a factor than the European clay. I think the European weather changes from week to week, I mean, last year it was sunny and hot and this week it's kind of playing tricks on us a little bit. I definitely think that is a factor.

If I can break one out of every three return games, I'm going to give myself a shot in a lot of matches.

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

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.

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.

I think I have a lot of room for improvement. My serve is okay, but I need to work on a lot of things: return, transition game, backhand.

I think if I believe in something strongly enough, I'm pretty outspoken about it.

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.

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'm not the savior of men's tennis in America. I'm just a kid trying to win a few matches.

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.
