Maybe, one other match better; but if you look at the tournament as a whole, I played very high quality tennis for seven matches and raised my game when I needed to.
From Richard Krajicek
I was serving good but was returning especially well, which was a weakness in my game. So not only was I serving well, but I was also breaking these other guys, and they felt the pressure.
I don't think anybody was ever up 6-2 and would lose the tiebreaker.
I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes.
Hewitt is such a fighter on the court; he never gives up. They all have qualities to beat him.
Guys like John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and Stefan Edberg were also very good grass court players.
Federer can be the best ever; he has the potential. The only question is whether he has the desire.
But, then, Sampras won Wimbledon six times and that automatically puts him among the greatest.
But the problem with coaching is that it is a full-time job. By that I mean for at least 40 weeks in a year you have to be with the player, either travelling or training. Right now I don't want to do that.
But Pete had the desire to play at the highest level for so many years. That is very difficult, mentally.
