I don`t know why, but I love the dog eat dog nature of tennis. It`s real, it`s brutal and there`s no hiding place - it's like a one to one street fight. I love the intensity that comes with knowing you walk off court either a winner or a loser. It`s daunting but very exciting. There is no one to blame except yourself, no one cares who comes second.

People watched the Masters. It was a huge event. It was at The Garden. Now that it is over here in Europe, it has lost a little bit of popularity in the States.
Pete Sampras

I feel much more respected in Europe than I do in the States from the press and from the people. Americans expect me to win every match I play.

There should be more of an off-season in the game. I think you need to have less tournaments, more of a break at the end of the year so guys can recover.
