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.
The alternative is me not being at my best, me being out there in the situation where I can do more damage to myself and not be part of more tournaments, ... I'm trying to negotiate a career, how I'm going to go about my profession. Making the wrong decision is going to have big ramifications for me at this stage.
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 has always been difficult for me to watch. I just couldn't imagine what it's like competing against a sibling.
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 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.

But he plays so big and he's so fast that if an edge does come off, it's a big relief. ... When he comes down into just warp speed, it gives you a little breath of life.

We played twice this summer, back-to-back in Los Angeles and in Canada in Toronto, one and one, we played three sets both times. So it's always a difficult match,
Over the last 20 years, I've come full circle, ... To be here at an age where I can take in that sort of love and be at an age where I can embrace it is a tremendous feeling.
Robby's improved a lot, ... He's gotten a lot smarter with his game. ... I was very impressed with how he's improved since last time I've played him.
Roger played way too good today. I just lost to a guy who is better. He is the best I have ever played against.
