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.

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

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.

I don't want to live and die with every point that's being played out there now. I'm going to let my coach live and die with every point.

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

Stay in school kids or you'll end up being an umpire.

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.

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

I've become better at the net. I've got a 135 mph serve so I'd be stupid not to follow that in. Overall I'm a better player than I was last year.

For every bad moment I've had, there have been 25 positives.

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

I like grass, I enjoy it and it suits my game.

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

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

I'm convinced being a tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world.

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.

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.
