I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am – if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.

I never felt like I was going to win this match but somehow I just found the way,

As much as I want to get out there and do the best I can, you will not see me on the court anymore if I’m not 100 percent. If I have a little pain...

It felt good, it was pain free. I’ve just got to run faster now, that’s all.

It’s all going to come to an end at one time or another. Until that point, I want to be committed to this and see it through.

It’s always a bit sad when somebody you spent so much time with over the years, played so many matches against, decides it’s time for them to move on. But I’m sure he’ll embrace this...

Andy had number one in his hands the whole week,

I really, really want to. I plan on it. I’m optimistic about it.

I was pretty nervous coming out here today. It took me a while to settle in. But it felt good.

I’ve been let in on a dirty little secret: winning changes nothing. Now that I’ve won a slam, I know something that very few people on earth are permitted to know. A win doesn’t feel...

We played once in Australia. We got done with that match and I said, ‘He’s a top 10 player’. He just seemed to do so many things well. He made you work for every point....

Andre was for a time fighting his own personal battles, whatever they were, and wasn’t putting his whole heart into the tennis. The way I see it in his eyes, this is just frosting.

[Young said during a recent conference call that he decided to turn pro when he received a wild-card invitation to a tournament in San Jose. He is] excited to play, … I’m a little nervous....

I feel like I missed Wimbledon two years in a row, and I feel I’ve missed the French two years in a row, … I was out on the court in Paris and I literally...

He was pulling triggers, and I could feel if I didn’t step up my game he was going to control what was going on out there, … It was a high quality first set. I...

He deserves support. I just hope it’s a great standard match. He’s always been a real dangerous player. You never know when somebody comes of age. Certainly watching his wins over the last couple weeks...

So I really don’t know what to expect.

That means you go out in the match and you address it with urgency and you have to play well, … He’s not the first guy to make you feel that way, but he’s certainly...

I’m the best over-30 player, so it doesn’t matter.

I broke him one time. ‘ You come out to a match like this and you hope for that at least. ‘ So you never know what to expect playing somebody you never played before....

First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn’t the winner, tennis was. That’s awesome. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so good here...

I stand and feel an overpowering urge to forgive, because I realize that my father can’t help himself, that he never could help himself, any more than he could understand himself.

He’s unique to the game based on his size and the way he plays. I don’t know what it’s like to face it. It’s an odd trajectory that the ball is coming down from. It’s...

My feelings are he [Yevgeny Kafelnikov] should take his prize money when he is done here and go and buy some perspective.

We played a few times, but he’s obviously playing way better than the times that I’ve played him, just like James,

He outplayed me in the fourth. I was hoping to do something different in the fifth and it felt great.

James is a guy that runs on high octane,

If there’s one thing I learned in Paris, limping around in front of the world is not a comfortable thing to do.

Tommy is in my opinion one of the best players in the world, he should be up at the top.I’ll have to play a good match.

He’s the only guy I’ve ever played against you hold serve to go 1-0 and you think all right, good. There’s a sense of urgency on every point, on every shot.

Once I got the break, I got into a better rhythm in the second set. He did not serve a high percentage of first serves in and I was returning well.

It’s a great sign,

I thought maybe if I tape it and I support it maybe I could push through, … But the foot went to the outside and down. So on the outside three ligaments were gone and...

It has meant a lot to me to challenge the best players in the world and to beat them. And it means a lot to me to be out here and fighting for the title...

This is an unfortunate setback.

Listen to that. How does that get old? Thanks, guys.

If he’s getting the better of me, I couldn’t wish it for a better person

To be honest, with the way a mentality like mine sort of works, this means as much to me as doing it in the finals,

It’s always awkward playing somebody for the first time. Tonight I just stayed with executing my shots, stayed comfortable.

I think he has better options right now.

I’ve been around long enough to know how short-lived all of this is.

Thank goodness we have Andy [Roddick] on the team,

I mean, what do you do? What do you tell those people that are sitting there, waiting to be rescued and people can’t even get to them?

Same story now for a little while. A couple of good days followed by a series of difficult ones.

It took me a while to enjoy playing here the first few years,

The most animated talks we have are about…things

There’s no matches you get through unless you’re playing sensibly. ‘ You have to,

It’s an incredible serve, … It’s not a function of how fast it is. The trajectory is the main issue. You’re lunging, but then it’s up. You’re sort of diving, but then you can’t reach...

I’m not going to have a lot of winners against a guy like Roger. My goal is to get a lot of errors out of him because of the breezy conditions. I wanted to control...

I plan to return to the court as soon as my ankle is fully recovered.
