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.
I think it would be amazing for the fans of tennis to be able to see them. But first things first. I'd like to see the sport come together to figure out a way to make sure they don't get into the wrong hands.
I don't know if I can put in context with how this compares with some of my greatest moments on tennis courts, but it's right up there,
Let's be clear about something. I wasn't the winner, tennis was. I never felt I was going to win that match but somehow it just fell my way.
You need to play the craziest tennis you've ever played or he needs to be doing something off because you have to do it for such a long period of time.
He was really hitting the ball clean and big and making me feel like I was a step behind on all of my shots, ... ... It was quality tennis and the tennis stayed pretty high throughout.
I felt like I was playing good tennis and that's a great feeling. It's only the second match, but it's certainly a great one for me.
At 1:15 in the morning for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was, ... I don't know if I've ever felt this good here before.
I've played No. 1 in the world tennis before and there wasn't a time when I ever felt like a favorite,
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.
First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.
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.
How do you find words for what this means? ... This has been some of the greatest memories I've ever had on a tennis court.
Pretty amazing. I don't know if I can put in context how this compares with some of my greatest experiences on the tennis court, but I know it's right up there, because this is what you work so hard for.
