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'll be the first to admit it, the life I'm leading is basically a joke. I should probably be cooler about it, but I can't fake it, you know?

I try not to take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time.

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

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.

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.

No, if I wore a sleeveless shirt, people would try to feed me after the match. If you got the guns, go for it. I got two breadsticks sticking out of my sleeve. I'll stick with sleeves.

One little secret of the guys who have won one slam, is that we don't want other guys to win one because its like a bit of a special fraternity.

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 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 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.

Umpiring, the only job in the world where you can screw up on a daily basis and still have one!

I don't know that I've ever been someone who's interested in existing on tour. I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me.

My backhand is definitely a lot more solid and consistent. There were times when I couldn't hit it into the ocean.

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.

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