I Was Never Part Of The Crowd.

Tennis Was Always There For Me, Which Was Lucky. I Would Go Play Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hang With My Brother, Do Whatever, And At The End Of The Day I'd Come Back And Say, 'hey, Mom, Would You Hit 15 Minutes Worth Of Balls With Me?'

I Had True Rivalries. Not Only Did I Want To Beat My Opponent, But I Didn't Want To Let Him Up, Either. I Had A Rivalry With Mac, Lendl, Borg. Everybody Knew There Was Tension Between Us, On Court And Off. That's What's Really Ingrained In My Mind: 'this Is Real. This Isn't A Soft Rivalry.' There Were No Hugs And Kisses.

I Don't Go Out There To Love My Enemy. I Go Out There To Squash Him.

I Think My Greatest Victory Was Every Time I Walked Out There, I Gave It Everything I Had. I Left Everything Out There. That's What I'm Most Proud Of. I Can't Go Win Wimbledon Anymore, So If What I've Done In The Past Is Not Good Enough, Let It Go. Because I'm Certainly Not Sitting Around Thinking About It.

Big Money Encourages Tanking. In My Opinion, Tanking Is Going On Even With A Lot Of The Top Guys Today - It's Quite Evident.
