Ivo, it’s so hard to break him. One or two points can decide the match. It was good to close that one out, this was getting tougher.

Pete Sampras was great. I mean, no question. But there was a place to get to with Pete, you knew what you had to do. If you did it, it could be on your terms....

means as much to me as doing it in the finals.

If you could start the point off from the baseline, it would be a very one-sided match,

You step on the court feeling like you have to play a perfect match.

I had his back against the wall to some degree but he just figured that to be a cue for him to do something else,

[It could not have been much more fun to watch, either.] Let me just first say this, … It’s 1:15 in the morning and for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn’t the winner,...

He’s come a long way,

It’s all a bit surreal, … I get out there and I try to work and I come off the court and many times in my career I feel like it’s been a dream. That’s...

It’s an incredible serve. I’m trying to figure out where it is I would need to have to stand on the court to have the same trajectory. You’re sort of diving, but then you can’t...

At 1:15 in the morning for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn’t the winner, tennis was, … I don’t know if I’ve ever felt this good here before.

For me, that’s the definition of being rich: it doesn’t cross your mind to mention it to your best friend. And money is such a given you don’t care how you come by it.

I’m going to have to pick my shots and play great tennis.

Nike and I reached terms on all my stuff with no problem,

Listen, James is an easy guy to like, and he’s an easy guy to root for, … If he’s getting the better of me, if we happen to play, you know I couldn’t wish it...

No chance for me to play again ? it’s very dangerous and risky for my future. This is an unfortunate setback.

There’s nowhere to go and if you do what you’re supposed to do, you feel like it gives you just a chance to win the point.

[The answer probably would be that he would need to move halfway up to the service line before his serves would be able to land at the same angle into the court.] A lot of...

I kept forcing it, I just got into that rhythm.

There’s always a bit of working out between each player to be done. He got off to a good start and I had to play well to close him out, it felt good to get...

He’s the best I’ve ever played against,

I’m trying to figure out where I would need to stand on the court to have the same trajectory,

You never know when somebody comes of age or game, … Some people, it happens a lot earlier than others. … There’s no question he’s doing something better than he used to do.

Well, you know, I’ve bonded with a lot of people over the years, you know. We played the same tournaments year after year and we go back to the same place and many times the...

It has always been difficult for me to watch. I just couldn’t imagine what it’s like competing against a sibling.

Oh, how do you find words for what this means? This has been some of the greatest memories I’ve ever had on the court, … I’ll have these memories the rest of my life. Being...

I think one of the greatest joys I have now in my career and in my profession is to be playing at an age where I can appreciate it more than I used to, …...

Steve deserves a lot of credit for the popularity of tennis today. He has brought the sport into so many people’s lives. Whether through the launch of the Tennis Channel, or through the thousands of...

He’s writing checks that you only hope his body can cash. He plays very hard every single point.

I attempted to play in Shanghai with an injury that was not fully healed and it set me back substantially.

It’s been a tough road but a great road,

I got news for you, guys are scared to death to drink out of Gatorade. I’m scared to take anything. I can’t afford at this stage in my career to make mistakes accidentally.

I haven’t seen it before.

The thought of a Wimbledon trophy being in the hands of somebody with a lot of money is upsetting.

I was pleased with the way I improved over the course of the match, … By the end of the match, I was much more comfortable. But I was a little nervous in the beginning...

A ball feels different off every player’s racket-there are minute but concrete subtleties of force and spin. Now, hitting with her (Steffi Graf), I feel her subtleties. It’s like touching her, though we’re forty feet...

Every year, I am overwhelmed by the tremendous support the Grand Slam for Children receives from the Las Vegas community, business partners and the entertainment industry, … It is gratifying to know that 100% of...

I’m unsure about what I’m going to be doing in a month, let alone a year from now. But as of now, my intention is to keep working and keep doing what it is that...

When I get asked that question, I’m just a bit numb to it really, … All I can say is how I feel … I don’t know what’s going to happen.

I was a little embarrassed to admit how it happened. You would think a racket sport would translate.

It’s probably a sign that, you know, things need to change somewhere for guys to feel better about their physical ability to get ready for a tournament this big.

You could ask any sports bookie and they’re going to tell you what the odds are,

It was some of the best energy I ever felt — I never heard a crowd that loud. I thought it was just perfect, actually.

I’ll eat well, put my feet up, then take a little extra time warming up. I feel surprisingly good, believe it or not. The work’s done. It’s just about executing.

At this point in my career I have to be extremely selective about the amount of matches that I play in preparation of the US Open,

You come out and you know he will get his aces, … My question was, what I do when I get my racket on the ball.

It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it’s easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean,...

Tennis is the loneliest sport

You don’t cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is.

I’ve gotten through two five-setters, and feel surprisingly good. It’s a sprint now around the turn and down the homestretch. I’ll be in position to give it a good run.
