We were just breaking each other, and most times pretty easily. It was very difficult conditions. I think that today whoever had the stronger head, and stayed in the match, won.
What rivalry? I win all the matches.
I'm not saying I'm something special. I might play a little better tennis than other people, but it is because I was given the chance, and not many people are.
I feel a quarter Indian.
And the '99 finals at the French - if I had won that one easily, no one would have talked about it.
I have good anticipation, and good reaction to the the ball because I've played so many matches in my life.
No, because I think I have a reason to believe in myself and I think I'm also pretty confident about who I am and what I'm doing and it might be because I'm still at the top too.
I've always said I'm a good horse but I'm still an underdog.
Any tournament you go to, you want to win it.
Sometimes you want to make your own experiences.
The older you get, the more you learn.
I was never happy that my injuries cut my career short and ultimately forced my decision to step away from tennis. I have enjoyed my time away from the court, a period that has allowed me to experience a different side of life. However, I miss the game and the challenge of competing at the highest level of tennis, and I want to gauge whether I can stay healthy and compete against today's top players.
I am number one in the world, so I have the right to be arrogant
Before I was the hunter. Now I'm the hunted.
