I settled down on my service games and my ground strokes, put enough pressure on him to get that break. |
I still put myself through the same dramas that I used to and always have, |
I tell you what I do take pleasure in is accomplishing things that I question myself, |
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 might do besides that. ... When it leaves the racket, you know if you've done it or not. |
I think he has better options right now. |
I think he's the best I've played against. But I also think the accomplishment of winning that many Slams requires a number of things, including a little bit of luck to make sure you're healthy, nothing goes wrong. |
I think he's very talented. You know, I think had he gone about his career by investing in himself a little bit more, by choosing his tournaments, by trying to peak for the right tournament, I think he could have accomplished a lot more than he has. |
I think I've always had the shots. But in the past, I've suffered too many mental lapses. Now, I'm starting to get away from that and my mental discipline and commitment to the game are much better. I think I'm really taking a good look at the big picture. That's the difference between being around for the final or watching the final from my sofa at home. |
I think it would be amazing for the fans of tennis to be able to see them. But first things first. I'd like to see the sport come together to figure out a way to make sure they don't get into the wrong hands. |
I think one of the greatest joys I have now in my career and in my profession is to be playing at an age where I can appreciate it more than I used to, ... It's a whole different lens you look through the older you get. |
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 on the inside I had the compression of the bone hitting bone, so I have a bone bruise on the inside. |
I threw myself in with eagerness and desire, but it was just too much, too soon. |
I was a bit discouraged there in the fourth. As hard as I was wanting to try, there's not a lot you can do when you're just not getting into the points, |
I was a bit discouraged there in the fourth. He went through a stretch there where I was lucky if every third point, I was in the point. He was hitting ace after ace. I just needed a chance, and I didn't get that till the fifth. |
I was a bit discouraged there. |
