This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others.
Remember this. Hold on to this. This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others. This is the only thing we can do that has any lasting meaning. This is why we're here. To make each other feel safe.
Gil has helped me make decisions that have put me in a position to still be out here letting my game be the most it can be. There's a lot of people who have to sacrifice for me to still be able to do this, and there's a lot of trust that goes into that.
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.
The third and fourth set, I felt I was a bit living on the edge with my serve. He was getting a lot of good swings at it, had me under a lot of pressure. But the fifth, I had a few good easy hold games and started to relax a little bit more and hit my spots a little bit better, so that helped me to relax on my return games, as well.
How she helps me is with understanding the subtleties required to accomplish this task,
It's been a long time since I've felt good on the court. It's just getting tiring, that's all. It never feels good when you're losing often. You know, to have a few good wins and have a good tournament would help me, remind me right now why I'm doing this. But as of right now it's hard to feel that thrilled about it.

I think a perfectly played drop shot is one of the prettiest to watch in the game, ... In order for the drop shot to work, somebody has to be respecting what it is you might do besides that. ... When it leaves the racket, you know if you've done it or not.
It is not realistic for me to consider myself competitive on clay. The wear and tear it puts on my body has set me back the last couple of years. And Wimbledon is something that I don't want to miss this year.

James is an easy guy to like and he's an easy guy to root for,
James, ... is a guy who runs on high octane. He's a fighter jet; he burns the fuel fast and furious, and he plays so big and so fast that if an edge does come off, it's a big relief. You just have to show a bit of experience and keep hitting your shots.
