I'm not going to go run and hide because I'm catching some heat. I'm not going to stay at home and pout.
-
I don't really rate press conferences. It's not as though I leave the room fist-pumping my way down the corridor after a good one.

I threw the kitchen sink at him but he went to the bathroom and got his tub.

I don't care when people use the term 'one-Slam wonder' with me.

My aggression out there is my weapon. I think it's more letting them know that I'm not going to let them get away with something, and I'm not just going to kind of poke it back and be content to stay in rallies.

Call me All-American, but I love Ham and Cheese sandwiches. And not just any old ham and cheese sandwich... My mother's is the best. I've tried many times to make these sandwiches on my own, but it's never the same.

Stay in school kids or you'll end up being an umpire.

He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.

Tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world because whatever the person does, if it works you just say that's what's good, and if it doesn't work, you guys go, 'He should have done the other things.'.It just doesn't take much thought. If I'm grinding and I'm winning, you guys are like, 'He's reinvented himself.' If I'm playing like crap and pushing, then, you know, 'He's horrible and he needs to hit the ball.'

I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get.

For every bad moment I've had, there have been 25 positives.

Why would I get a wild card into an American tournament, (as the) top-ranked American? Why would that happen? That makes too much sense. Maybe I should play more Davis Cup, that's the story. Oh wait, I do.

I cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.

No, actually I wanted to play five. I definitely wanted to try to lose that fourth set and test the waters in the fifth.

Having two older brothers is a healthy reminder that you're always closer to the bottom than you are to the top.
-
There's no home team in tennis, no built-in fan base, so the players have to step up and do their fair share.
-
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!
-
One of the cool things I remember is the Swiss people brought their big cowbells.

I'm gonna have to start winning some of the matches to call it a rivalry!
