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.
I've been criticized for not having perspective in the past and I thought that of myself many times but not there.
Hitting a ball dead perfect - the only peace.
That's the greatest applause that any person will ever receive in their life when it comes from their peers
This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others.
My feelings are Yevgeny Kafelnikov should take his prize money when he is done here and go and buy some perspective.
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.

Once I got the break, I got into a better rhythm in the second set. He did not serve a high percentage of first serves in and I was returning well.
It's an incredible serve, ... The trajectory is the main issue because you're lunging but then it's up. You're sort of diving, but then you can't reach it, even if you dive perfectly on cue.
