Few of us are granted the grace to know ourselves, and until we do, maybe the best we can do is be consistent.
I just lost to a guy that was better, ... He's the best I've ever played against. Normally, if I played that way against anybody else, I'd be favoring myself. Anything you try to do, he potentially has an answer to it. He plays the game in a very special way. I haven't seen it before. Pete (Sampras) was great. No question. But there was a place to go with Pete. There's no such play like that with Roger.

I can be playing in front of a smaller group of people and playing the match of my life. At almost 36 years old, I don't take it for granted. That (U.S. Open) match with James Blake was one of the best moments of my career, to be part of something special like that. I hope I have some big moments ahead of me.
That stat alone is pretty crazy. You're talking about the best that are left in the tournament and he's winning that many times in a row.

As much as I want to get out there and do the best I can, you will not see me on the court anymore if I'm not 100 percent. If I have a little pain in my life; that's fine. I just don't want it on the tennis court, because I work too hard to get out there and feel helpless.
It's disappointing to lose, ... But the first thing you have to assess is why did you lose. I just lost to a guy that's better. There's only so long you can deny it. He's the best I've ever played against.
Roger played way too good today. I just lost to a guy who is better. He is the best I have ever played against.
I think he's the best I've played against. But I also think the accomplishment of winning that many Slams requires a number of things, including a little bit of luck to make sure you're healthy, nothing goes wrong.
Tommy is in my opinion one of the best players in the world, he should be up at the top.I'll have to play a good match.
I can't think of a better place for me to come out try to find my best tennis again,
Pete was great, ... (But) I think (Federer) is the best I've played against.
I'm the best over-30 player, so it doesn't matter.
