I thought maybe if I tape it and I support it maybe I could push through, ... But the foot went to the outside and down. So on the outside three ligaments were gone and on the inside I had the compression of the bone hitting bone, so I have a bone bruise on the inside.
Knowing my brother there's so much in him ? it's not time,
Just to see him out here is a great feeling, let alone watching him play so well. He's truly one of the classiest people you'll ever meet. If he's getting the better of me (Wednesday night), you know, I couldn't wish it for a better person.
My body plays by different rules, ... I need to listen to it.
We can say for sure our sport is the leading, if not the top, sport in drug testing in both its intensity and as far as what they test for. It's a very extensive list, probably more extensive than any other sport, and how often they test. It's not possible to get more aggressive maintaining the integrity of our sport.
Steve deserves a lot of credit for the popularity of tennis today. He has brought the sport into so many people's lives. Whether through the launch of the Tennis Channel, or through the thousands of children he has spent time with on the court, Steve has played an important role in introducing the sport to a whole new generation.

The alternative is me not being at my best, me being out there in the situation where I can do more damage to myself and not be part of more tournaments, ... I'm trying to negotiate a career, how I'm going to go about my profession. Making the wrong decision is going to have big ramifications for me at this stage.
Listen, with the state of my ankle right now, there's no chance for me to be able to play again,
Listen to that. How does that get old? Thanks, guys.
Listen, James is an easy guy to like, and he's an easy guy to root for, ... If he's getting the better of me, if we happen to play, you know I couldn't wish it for a better person. He deserves support. I just hope it will be a great standard match.
I was useless, to be quite honest, as being clear on what was going on out there,
It felt great, ... It means a lot more than the 19th and a lot less than the 21st.
It feels amazing, ... This is why you work so hard. These moments don't happen very often anymore. I'm taking it in, and it's feeling pretty good.
