I got bad calls every match, and I never got an apology. So I thought it was rather strange.

I don't make a habit of watching tennis matches, but I try to watch all the major finals. I try to make time for that. So unless I have something going with the kids where I can't, I try to watch, and I enjoy that.

I have seriously thought about retiring, but that was on a good day. On a bad day I've thought about killing myself.
Ivan Lendl
I certainly don't lose any sleep if I lose a tennis match.

People may say I developed an iron will, but what really happened is that I made myself much fitter. I think an iron will is always supported by fitness.
