I want to be remembered as a great player, but I guess it will be as a player who got angry on a tennis court.
Everybody loves success, but they hate successful people.
We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can't just depend on the fact that it is a great game.
This [defeat] has taught me a lesson, but I'm not sure what it is.
The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what's best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you're banging your head against a brick wall all the time.
What is the single most important quality in a tennis champion? I would have to say desire, staying in there and winning matches when you are not playing that well.
I know being a linesman is a thankless job, especially with guys like me around.
I think it's the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations.
I'll let the racket do the talking.
As they say in sports, the older you get, the better you used to be.
We all choke. Winners know how to handle choking better than losers.
My greatest strength is that I have no weaknesses.
Do you have any problems, other than that you're unemployed, a moron, and a dork?
That's one of the best sets I've seen him play, although I should preface that by saying I haven't seen him play before.
