You've just got to take things the way they are and accept them and strive.

Mikhail Youzhny likes the grass and has plenty of weapons to hurt you with.

I was always fighting the establishment, trying to run through brick walls.

Nobody says if you hit No. 2 in the world you have to win all your matches.

If I didn't do well at Wimbledon maybe Chinese people will forget about me.

While I still have more good days than bad days, I'm going to keep playing.

Right now I like baseball, hockey and tennis players. And horseback riders.

I think retirement beats the heck out of life after death, that's for sure.

Some tournaments wouldn't work as men's and women's event but others would.

As long as I feel like I can win majors and contend, I'll continue to play.

I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.

I've spent so much of my life travelling alone, so I keep things to myself.

I've always said that winning a Grand Slam title is what is most important.

I finished three years ranked No. 1, so the ranking doesn't matter anymore.

The crowds can be very loud, especially when you're playing in the evening.

At Wimbledon there is a golf putting machine to play on in the locker room.

Mary Joe Fernandez rarely has a bad loss. She never tries for stupid shots.

If I've learned nothing else, it's that time and practice equal achievement.

I am still been pumped to train and get myself ready for the biggest events.

My manager wants me to dress like a nun and I want to dress like a teenager.

From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.

The suit-and-tie job is very nice, but it's not really who I am in my heart.

On a normal day-to-day basis, I'm makeup free, hair in a bun, and I just go.

I'm a competitor. Gym work can be tough. But you just try to get through it.

I've been around watch factories and had the chance to visit some factories.

My problem is not that I don't want to play, it's that I don't want to live!

It's good to have a good teacher, but you always need a pretty good student.

I believe in my abilities, as when I get things right, things happen for me.

Dreams do come true if you keep believing in yourself. Anything is possible.

I think it's the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations.

To be involved in a senior tournament back in the States is very satisfying.

I was always taught that you needed to be intense and never lose your focus.

I never had tons of friends on tour. I was quiet and went about my business.

Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost.

I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn't enjoy spending it.

I play a lot of golf and I'm in a little ice hockey league at home in Idaho.

I used to pretend that I was Tom attacking Jerry, who was drawn on the ball.

He is very upbeat but we hear that all the time from just about any athlete.

What I've done in the game is always going to stick, no matter what happens.

My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall.

I don't think it really matters, who plays first. Whatever they do, they do.

It's very challenging to get the right balance between relaxing and working.

I will do as I usually do. Tomorrow is going to be a day like any other day.
