It's one-on-one out there, man. There ain't no hiding. I can't pass the ball.

I didn't have a big fat Greek wedding, but I have a lot of fat Greek friends.

All I cared about in tennis was winning.

What I've done in the game is always going to stick, no matter what happens.

If I win and play well, then the ranking will take care of itself. Defending points is really not a problem. Just go out and play and not worry about it.

I'm not worried about the weekend, I'm worried about Saturday.

People wrote me off, but I believed in myself. I got the confidence back, and it grew and grew. I won my first major and my last at the place that changed my life.

Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years.

Once the fifth set comes, it's a matter of nerves.

I hate to lose, and I do whatever I can to win, and if it is ugly, it is ugly.

I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches.

Success is walking out of here with the title, and anything less is not good enough in my book.

You kind of live and die by the serve.

I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles.

Anybody who has played sports and says they have never choked is lying to you.

The only person that I have met, that I have ever been in awe of, is Eddie Vedder.

I always insist on my jeans being ironed. Is that a problem?

People don't seem to understand that it's a damn war out there.

From where we lived, to practise in St Louis was an hour-and-a-half drive each way, so that took a lot of the time. So really, our lives just took different paths.
