To me, Hewitt and Nadal would be the best spirited fighters I've ever seen on the tennis court.
Andrea Jaeger plays tennis like she's double-parked.
There is no cheap way to achieve the ability to turn pro in tennis; it unfortunately is more expensive than team sports.
I'm an American. You can't go on where you were born. If you do then John McEnroe would be a German.

If I'm nervous, it means I had to work hard to get there, whether it's playing in a tournament or speaking at an event. So I try to stop and be proud of getting to live in that moment.
After being on the court for six hours, being on TV is very glamorous and fun for me. But tennis is always going to be my priority. It's not going to be this thing when all of a sudden TV will get in the way of that.
Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it.
To be honest, everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that, if I didn't have time off, I wouldn't be able to focus on.
I spent a whole year when I was injured just trying to get my arm back to the point where I could hit a tennis ball for more than 30 minutes a day. I'd hit for 15 minutes and it would feel as if my arm was going to fall off.

You know why I want to win? Because of 15,000 reasons inside of the tennis court.
Right now my main aim is not to get injured any more. I am a little bit afraid of running and sliding because the ankle was so painful. But I am not a person who runs a lot, who spends a lot of energy on the court. If I am mentally OK, if nothing is bothering me and I want to play, then it is fine.
I definitely want to get out of tennis and try something completely different.
There's a lot of things I want to do. I want to learn Italian. I want to learn to play tennis better. I want to motivate the world, basically.
