I certainly didn’t have enough today. Three five-set matches didn’t help.

How she helps me is with understanding the subtleties required to accomplish this task,

It’s just been terrible this year for the number of players who haven’t been ready to play here,

So to postpone that, for me, I never really considered it. When it was right, I did it. But that’s how I do most things, unfortunately.

I threw myself in with eagerness and desire, but it was just too much, too soon.

So I go to the Open with the intention of hopefully bringing some inspiration to those who take a few hours out of their day to come watch me. That’s what I look forward to.

Soon the pain felt wonderful, almost sweet, because it was the kind that you can tell precedes relief. But maybe all pain is like that.

Obviously, you never know when it’s your last go, … I mean, I certainly have no plans one way or another. But I’ve been around long enough to know how short-lived all of this is.

I’m going to go down swinging. … I’m sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament.

He was out-hitting me. I wasn’t reacting well to the ball. He hits a heavy ball and a big forehand return.

It’s hard for me to put it in context, … I can say I enjoy playing there more than anywhere else in the world. When you step on the court there, regardless of how you...

A lot changed in my career after failing to No. 141 in the world and coming back and winning in Paris, … I’m more motivated now than ever to get out there and figure out...

It’s amazing, … I mean, after the time I spent during Wimbledon at home, you know, just not knowing if I’ll play again, let alone, you know, be ready in just a week’s time.

It feels like there are not a lot of guys who play the game he (Dent) does and if you’re not on your game he’s one of the worst to play,

It’s been a tough road but Roger played way too good today, so congratulations to him and well done.

But he was, in his most difficult moments, more awkward than I anticipated.

I think a perfectly played drop shot is one of the prettiest to watch in the game, … In order for the drop shot to work, somebody has to be respecting what it is you...

Tennis was always sort of a – a learning. It was a vehicle for me to discover a lot about myself. And the things that I sort of discovered at times I not only didn’t...

Sometimes it’s just harder to remind yourself about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it… Other times, you have a great desire for it, but physically you’re not responding the way you want. That...

[In the end, despite grabbing the fourth set 6-3 and coming close to a break in the fifth set, he was unable to keep Federer from advancing. After, the talk focused on how much longer...

The alternative is me not being at my best, me being out there in the situation where I can do more damage to myself and not be part of more tournaments, … I’m trying to...

It’s very sticky. It stops and everything else moves, … It’s hard to have confidence. Then when you try a little bit, it’s still painful…I was just getting worse. It’s not ready.

To say it (the injured hip) was 100 percent would probably be overstating it but to be able to have the time to get it better up to this point is a great sign that...

I’ve been thinking that for four years. You never know when it’s your last go,

I was playing a lot of golf, going out a lot, enjoying Brooke’s world,

Roger played way too good today. I just lost to a guy who is better. He is the best I have ever played against.

I just don’t think you should have one unless you win it.

My relationship with the fans from early on went from not being well received to finding as much support there as I do anywhere in the world,

Older people make this mistake all the time with younger people, treating them as a finished product when in fact they are in process.

In every match I play, I grow in my appreciation for this opportunity, this chance to be out there playing at the U.S. Open for another match, another time,

It is not realistic for me to consider myself competitive on clay. The wear and tear it puts on my body has set me back the last couple of years. And Wimbledon is something that...

I couldn’t really hit balls for a month at least due to my ankle. You come back, try to get ready in a hurry and you force it and things just don’t respond if you...

I question myself every day. That’s what I still find motivating about this. I don’t have the answers, I don’t pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe...

I’ve played No. 1 in the world tennis before and there wasn’t a time when I ever felt like a favorite,

He’s the only guy I’ve ever played where you hold serve to go 1-0 and you’re thinking, ‘All right, good. The amount of options he has to get around any particular stage of the match...

There’s other guys – I’ve played a lot of them, I mean, so many years – (against whom) there’s a safety zone, there’s a place to get to, there’s something to focus on, there’s a...

There’s records I’m proud of,

I’m in the finals, it’s awesome.

He kept raising his game, … He had me under a lot of pressure. He went through a stretch there where I was lucky if every third point I was in the point. I mean,...

The wear and tear of the clay-court season is something that has set me back in the past in terms of the grass-court season, and the grass is something that I don’t want to miss...

Certainly coming out here for the first match in such a long time, I couldn’t have expected that standard, to be that comfortable, … I just settled in early. Sometimes you can really get too...

Maybe I don’t know yet how to be happy and play well at the same time.

I knew I was in a tussle at that point.

Let’s be clear about something. I wasn’t the winner, tennis was. I never felt I was going to win that match but somehow it just fell my way.

On the heels of our new partnership with Tamarack Resort, we felt that the people of Boise would really embrace Rock-n-Racquets, … Our intention is to bring this unique event to a market that typically...

My kids thought they were on Mars. We couldn’t get a word in edgewise, but it was fun to just sit and watch them.

Today required a lot of concentration, because it only took a mental lapse for one or two shots and the set’s over, … So it was really difficult mentally to stay the course.

It was blown up like a balloon and twice the size,

In your first match it’s always a bit awkward, it’s the new year and you’re getting used to conditions,

This certainly isn’t easy to do at any age, especially at 35. It’s been a privilege to play against many of the greatest players over the decades and Roger has been one of the most...
