When you retire you want to get as far away as possible from the game for a couple of years.
If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.
People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.
My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall.
Anything can happen out there on any court.
Tennis obviously isn't as popular as baseball in the States.
As long as I feel like I can win majors and contend, I'll continue to play.
I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.

Baseball is America's pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States.
It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed.

With this ranking system, the more you play, the better off you are.
Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.
I am here for the goal, and the goal is to try to do it again.
A couple hundred people around, and I'm shaking.
I didn't have a big fat Greek wedding, but I have a lot of fat Greek friends.
