I just don't believe there's anybody out there that can put up the numbers Roger has put up over the last two and a half years.
He was pulling triggers, and I could feel if I didn't step up my game he was going to control what was going on out there, ... It was a high quality first set. I snuck a break out of nowhere. I knew I had to lift my game, and I did as the match continued.
The thought of a Wimbledon trophy being in the hands of somebody with a lot of money is upsetting.
It was good to close that one out, it was only getting tougher,
I've said before, I don't know how I'm going to go out, ... I know one thing, if I'm out there playing well and giving something back to the sport, it's going to be hard not to give it more.
It's hard for me to put it in context, ... I can say I enjoy playing there more than anywhere else in the world. When you step on the court there, regardless of how you feel, you always push yourself to get the most.
Other guys you play, and I've played a lot of them, there's a safety zone, there's a place to get to, there's something to focus on, there's a way. Anything you try to do, he (Federer) potentially has an answer for. He plays the game in a very special way. I haven't seen it before.
Even a blind dog can find a bone now and then,
I need to work, and this is my work, ... I'm a tennis player, and I'll do it as hard as I can as long as I can, from how I see it right now.
I don't know if I've ever felt this good here,
Somebody or something has to truly represent the better interest of the sport, ... It's important for there to be resolve.
I've gotten to a point where I don't even think about them anymore, because I can't afford to weigh myself down with sort of the rat race of trying to keep up with everything, ... I can't do it anymore.
She's really into helping me make coffee, ... You realize when you have special moments, they don't quite absorb it. They're not interested in your dramas.
It makes me feel great I can play five sets without that pain. That's certainly a good indication that everything's holding up,
