I'm going to go down swinging... I'm sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament.
I got a hundred bucks says my baby beats Pete's baby. I just think genetics are in my favour.
Hitting a ball dead perfect - the only peace.
My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was - it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played after school. We woke up. We played tennis. We brushed our teeth in that order.
First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.

Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.
I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.
Tennis was always sort of a - a learning. It was a vehicle for me to discover a lot about myself. And the things that I sort of discovered at times I not only didn't want to see it for myself but I certainly didn't want millions of people to see it.

It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.
Now that I've won a slam, I know something very few people on earth are permitted to know. A win doesn't feel as good as a loss feels bad, and the good feeling doesn't last long as the bad. Not even close.
