As years go by, chances of winning here are getting slimmer. That's just a matter of fact. It does get tougher, but it's possible, there's a tiny little chance. |
If I'm going to be out there, I want to be in the top 10 and really have a chance of winning a Grand Slam. |
I've been here playing against Connors and it can be very, very loud. It makes it exciting at the same time. |
I've been on the tour for many, many years. It's time for me to go now, before it's too late. |
The crowds can be very loud, especially when you're playing in the evening. |
A good thing is I've been playing tennis I think every day for the last two months. I really haven't had a day off. I've been doing things that I did used to do. |
I think in 1991, when Jimmy got to the semifinals, it was just incredible all of the people coming out. |
Since a month, two months ago, you know, I've started hitting the ball well. I'm playing some really good tennis. That really helps. I sort of have to motivate myself to get pumped up. It really helps my game a lot. |
I felt better being in the background. That's the way I like it. |
I'm really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that's really important. |
A win is a win. Topics: Short |
I played Chang here under the lights here. I think that was '91. Another good match. I've played a lot more good matches under the lights than I played bad. You tend to remember some of the bad ones unfortunately. |
You lose some, you win some. Nothing wrong with that at all. |
I've been in a lot of trouble and come out of it. I think it shows a lot of good character. |
If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously. |
I'm always being realistic. |
I'm telling you, it's so exciting playing out there because I'm playing well, you have the crowd behind you, and it's such a good feeling. I'm really having a good time out there. |
I felt that I did have the crowd behind me. That obviously helps a lot. |
