 When he gets on the grass he's a new man. He's like a little kid in the candy store. He has a clean slate here. Andy hasn't had the best couple of months by his standards, but this is cleansing for him. In the last two years on grass, he's only lost to (top-ranked) Roger Federer.

 When he saw Vice Principal [Dan] Barnes, he pointed the shotgun at Mr. Barnes and fired one round, ... Mr. Barnes was able to dive into another doorway and avoid being struck by the pellets. Hoffman then started firing indiscriminately at other people in the attendance quad area.

 When he's got his legs, what he can do, he can defend in the post with his feet. He can use his quickness and play different angles in the post and not have to rely on totally fronting and totally just playing behind. He gives you an added dimension defensively to do some things.

 When I first came in the sport, it was sort of like his time to be the top guy. I don't think he was expecting a young guy ... to come out as strong as we did and become as popular as we did. He and I kind of had a rivalry starting in 1994 and it carried on for a number of years.
