At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.
My serve has killed a small dog ... I'm joking, I'm joking! The dog was huge!
Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.
The whole point of team competition is to pick your teammates up.
I'm the most successful bad player ever.
If nothing else, I'm a decent quote.
I want everyone to look back and think that I was awesome.
The key to the match might have been his serving. Maybe I should have concentrated harder on watching them go by me, I don't know.
I had a very detailed retirement plan, and I feel like I've met every aspect of it: a lot of golf, a lot of carbs, a lot of fried food, and some booze, occasionally - I've been completely committed... The results have shown.
The only pressure I feel is what I put on myself.
For every bad moment I've had, there have been 25 positives.
Once you get to a certain level, anybody can beat anybody else on any given day.
I enjoy hitting tennis balls. I haven't lost any of the innocent parts of tennis. I just do it in front of less people.
No, if I wore a sleeveless shirt, people would try to feed me after the match. If you got the guns, go for it. I got two breadsticks sticking out of my sleeve. I'll stick with sleeves.
I always said if I had to pick one Grand Slam to win, it would be the U.S. Open.
It seems with every match I win, I get better-looking to other people.
I'm not the savior of men's tennis in America. I'm just a kid trying to win a few matches.
I used to, like, hit for a half hour and then go eat Cheetos the rest of the day, come out and drill forehands. Now I'm really trying to make it happen, being professional, really going for it, and I miss my Cheetos.
I'm convinced being a tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world.
I do understand that when someone gives you a [expletive] load of money, you take that money. Someone like Larry Ellison wants to invest into his event and make it the biggest possible, and he gets stopped by the ATP. If you're a start-up, what would make you want to navigate through that and to go through that firing line? How can you step into tennis with any confidence? It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.
When you make the schedule, you're not planning on playing deep into every single week, or at least I haven't in the past. I'm not physically or mentally ready to pick up my bags and go to Monte Carlo. I definitely have to look at what's best for my chances at (at the French Open).
I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get.
Tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world because whatever the person does, if it works you just say that's what's good, and if it doesn't work, you guys go, 'He should have done the other things.'.It just doesn't take much thought. If I'm grinding and I'm winning, you guys are like, 'He's reinvented himself.' If I'm playing like crap and pushing, then, you know, 'He's horrible and he needs to hit the ball.'
I've been good about keeping my nose to the grindstone.
