With Everything Else That Would Swirl Around Me When I Got Involved In It, Tennis Was My Main Concern.

No, Like I Said, My Dad Was Never Really Part Of The Tennis. His Involvement Around What I Did With The Tennis And With My Mom And My Grandparents Was Really Not A Part Of My Life.

Playing In Front Of 25,000 People And Millions More On Television, And Performing And Doing What I Worked So Hard To Try To Accomplish Was, In My Opinion, The Ultimate. Do I Miss It? Of Course I Do.

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