 I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve. |
| Where I fall down is my short game. I don't practice enough, and when I have to take a half swing from 50 yards out, that's trouble. |
| The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less. |
| When you retire you want to get as far away as possible from the game for a couple of years. |
| For so long people have just taken what I do for granted. It is not easy to do year-in, year-out, to win Grand Slams and be No. 1. |
| In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically. |
| I don't know how I do it, I really don't. |
| People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity. |
| Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years. |
| If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me. |
| There's always one shot that I can rely on when I'm not hitting the ball that well, is my serve. |
| You kind of live and die by the serve. |
| It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed. |
| Tennis is seen all around the world; if I am home or anywhere in the country, United States, people will stare. |
| I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches. |
