Big Dreams Are So Damn Tiring.

I Play Tennis For A Living Even Though I Hate Tennis, Hate It With A Dark And Secret Passion And Always Have.

When I Was 7 Years Old I Saw Jimmy Connors Make Someone Carry His Bag, As Though He Were Julius Caesar. I Vowed Then And There That I Would Always Carry My Own.

I Question Myself Every Day. That's What I Still Find Motivating About This. I Don't Have The Answers, I Don't Pretend That I Do Just Because I Won The Match. Just Keep Fighting And Maybe Something Good Happens.

First Of All, In Any Sport Where You Can Measure Distance, Height Speed And All Of That, You See How Athletes Have Changed Their Sport And Made It Better. I Believe, With Every Generation, The Sport Has Improved. Certainly, In The Men's Game, That Has Been The Case. I Think That I Played Pete [sampras] At His Best, I Played Roger [federer] At His Best.. I Believe Wholeheartedly That Roger And [rafael] Nadal Have Pushed The Game Much Further Than Myself Or Pete Ever Did. Their Options On The Tennis Court Are Considerably More Than Ours.

I Envy Pete Sampras's Dullness. I Wish I Could Emulate His Spectacular Lack Of Inspiration.
