My Goal One Day Is To Be

The Future Is Flying Home. That's The Immediate Future. But Long-distance Future, I Plan On Being Back. I'm Not Going To End My Time Here With That Loss.

When I Committed To Playing A Little Tennis In Some Exhibitions, It Was The Best Thing For Me. It Got Me In Shape. It Got Me Out Of The House. It Got Me Doing Something I Love To Do.

My Goal One Day Is To Be In The Same Sentence As Rod Laver And Ken Rosewall. If I Can Match Them For 10 Years, I'd Be In Their Company. They Were Class Acts. That's What I'd Like To Be.

I May Be A Step Slower Than I Was Before Reaching 30, But I'm Doing All The Right Things. I Guess There Are Some Guys Who Would Take It Easy In The Latter Part Of Their Careers, But I'm Stepping It Up.

After I Went Through Two Years Of Not Winning An Event, What Kept Me Going Was Winning One More Major. Once I Won That Last U.s. Open, I Spent The Next Six Months Trying To Figure Out What Was Next. Slowly My Passion For The Sport Just Vanished. I Had Nothing Left To Prove.
