I'm just tired of having to say 'cheese' all the time for the press.

Nobody expected me to win Wimbledon. It was something to strive for.

Too many people asking too many questions in tennis. Golf is better.

I was maybe only 13 or 14 when I started to play junior tournaments.

I don't go out there to love my enemy. I go out there to squash him.

Of course, I believe injury has stopped me winning more tournaments.

Yeah, certainly you want to try to save your energy at a Grand Slam.

As they say in sports, the older you get, the better you used to be.

We all choke. Winners know how to handle choking better than losers.

It would be a nice place if you took all the people out of the city.

I can't advocate people not liking each other. But... I'd prefer it.

The weather for me is nothing special. The weather couldn't kill me.

No. At the States we get no matches that are played in Europe on TV.

I hit a ball for a living, but I have that passion to keep learning.

Wimbledon is not the easiest tournament in which to make a comeback.

Seeing the Olympics come to China made me want to get more involved.

I love being around people who care about me, and I care about them.

I have horrible handwriting, horrible spelling and horrible grammar.

With this ranking system, the more you play, the better off you are.

Tennis was a big part of my life from as far back as I can remember.

I'm a real extrovert, but when I'm round someone new, I'm super shy.

Good music just makes me happy and keeps me from getting distracted.

There is no relief at it being over. There is the joy of winning it.

To stay interested in tennis, I have to mix it up with other things.

If I don't wear something I feel confident in, I don't play as well.

I guess tennis is my main art, but fashion is definitely very close.

In life, there is no such thing as impossible; it's always possible.

No matter who you are, the grass is never greener on the other side.

If I don't go to the gym for a week, I just get thinner and thinner.

In the villages in Europe, there are still healers who tell stories.

I hit the ball early and move my wrist a lot, so I get bigger angles.

I'm convinced being a tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world.

I think it's really important for me not to forget where I came from.

When bright young minds can't afford college, America pays the price.

Trust and respect is something you earn, not something that is given.

Competitive toughness is an acquired skill and not an inherited gift.

I first started out by hitting a ball against a wall when I was four.

When I lose a match, I know that I lose on the court and not in life.

I am always focusing on what I can do better for years down the line.

You have to focus on the process. You cannot be glued to the results.

The squeaky wheel doesn't always get greased; it often gets replaced.

How are we to live with the desert, in the desert, within the desert?

I was very competitive. I hated losing. No matter what, I had to win.

I've had a lot of luck. If I didn't I'd be washing bottles in Russia.

Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it.

All of the Spaniards are really talented. I don't know what they eat.

I think for me, food was a way for me to deal with emotional trouble.

It is always pressure out there when you are favourite for the match.

I can't stay No. 1 for fifty years, you know. We'll see what happens.

I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy.
