Quote

My aggression out there is my weapon. I think it's more letting them know that I'm not going to let them get away with something, and I'm not just going to kind of poke it back and be content to stay in rallies.

Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!

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.

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 cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.

When you make the schedule, you're not planning on playing deep into every single week, or at least I haven't in the past. I'm not physically or mentally ready to pick up my bags and go to Monte Carlo. I definitely have to look at what's best for my chances at (at the French Open).

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.

When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

I don't think I'm one of those guys who won't pick up a racket for three years...I love hitting tennis balls.

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.

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.

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.

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 the medical term for the injury is 'the bottom of my ass hurts.'

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.

I don't have much interest in being on a senior tour. I don't think I retired so that I could be on tour.

I don't really rate press conferences. It's not as though I leave the room fist-pumping my way down the corridor after a good one.

I'm the most successful bad player ever.

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

It's pretty high up there on the list. Being able to return a serve at that speed is one of the biggest things that separates the professionals from the recreational players.
