Jonas is going to get his breaks of serve because he returns so well and I was just fortunate that I was already up two service breaks when I lost my serve in both sets,

It was a good sign to play a guy where I had to lunge a lot and jump around, … It was 2 1/2 hours. I felt pretty good.

It’s a good feeling to be playing in an environment that you played so well in, and then to have a match that you’ve had before.

I can’t think of a better place for me to come out try to find my best tennis again,

I tell you what I do take pleasure in is accomplishing things that I question myself,

I’d like to play him before HE retires.

Even a blind dog can find a bone now and then,

I’ve been motivated by overcoming challenge and overcoming the hurdles and obstacles that face me. There still is plenty out there to get motivated by.

If you don’t practice you don’t deserve to win.

It’s really disappointing to miss this year’s tournament and I was really looking forward to playing again in the Bay Area.

Everybody here is taking the day out of their lives to come watch me, and I thank you for that,

Unfortunately, even with the amount of training and rehabilitation I’ve been going through, my ankle is still not 100 per cent.

It took me a while after Paris to get healed up, a lot longer than I anticipated,

He’s lost three matches all year, … He’s probably won, what, 70 (actually 71)? Yeah, he’s definitely beatable (laughter). I just don’t like those odds.

It’s a great sign. I’ve trained hard. This is why you work so hard, so that physically you can do it. Something like a nerve, you never know when it’s going to be an issue....

He was controlling the ball and controlling the pace. I pretty much got what I deserved.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve come full circle, … To be here at an age where I can take in that sort of love and be at an age where I can embrace it...

I just don’t believe there’s anybody out there that can put up the numbers Roger has put up over the last two and a half years.

I was pretty nervous coming out here today,

Control what you can control.

But I feel good about the way I played tonight. I was moving well and feeling healthy so it was all good.

I was just out of sorts. I think I was still in the locker room there in the first set. I knew it could only get better from there as far as my standard went....

Saturday is going to be a blast. The whole weekend is going to be a blast.

Robby’s improved a lot, … He’s gotten a lot smarter with his game. … I was very impressed with how he’s improved since last time I’ve played him.

Fatherhood brings so much perspective to your life. You realize that what we do is just hit a ball over a net and where that sits in the scheme of things, as important as it...

To be here at an age when I can take in that sort of love (from the fans) and embrace it is a tremendous feeling, … I’ll never forget this. They can’t take that away...

When you’re young, you can sleep in till 12,

Playing a surface like we are here is not easy on the body,

There’s going to be a lot of times out there that I’m going to wish I was 6-10, and there’s a lot of times I’m going to thank God that I’m not. I just hope...

Is it possible that I can’t [play] anymore? It’s definitely possible. It seems pretty dark at the moment. But I am an optimist at heart, and I will believe in more moments that I can...

It would be great to win, but I have no interest in putting a nice little bow around my career and handing it over to anybody,

Il sesso non interferisce con il tuo livello di gioco; è stare fuori tutta la notte per riuscire ad ottenerlo che rovina il gioco!

I know he’s been playing well and he’s been picking up his standard, … I’ve got to believe he’s only gotten better. But you know, it’s something I’m looking forward to: a good quality match...

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 it.

He’s the best I’ve ever played against. Everything you try to do, he has an answer for. He plays the game in a very special way.

He amazes me how far down he can dig,

It’s not really a function of how fast it is, because a lot of guys can serve it 135-plus, … The trajectory is the main issue, because you are lunging, but then it’s (bounced) up...

Gil has helped me make decisions that have put me in a position to still be out here letting my game be the most it can be. There’s a lot of people who have to...

I’m enjoying her and the way I feel around her.

Knowing my brother there’s so much in him ? it’s not time,

I broke him one time,

It felt great, … It means a lot more than the 19th and a lot less than the 21st.

My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was – it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played...

Being number two sucks.

Other guys you play, and I’ve played a lot of them, there’s a safety zone, there’s a place to get to, there’s something to focus on, there’s a way. Anything you try to do, he...

It feels amazing, … This is why you work so hard. These moments don’t happen very often anymore. I’m taking it in, and it’s feeling pretty good.

has probably come on a little quicker than anticipated.

nobody would want to see it.

In the middle to late part of the third set, the sciatic nerve in my back started to get inflamed and it sent pain down my right leg and it got worse by the minute,

I don’t know if I can put in context with how this compares with some of my greatest moments on tennis courts, but it’s right up there,
