I don't want to be remembered as a beaten champion.

I know it's not the most important thing for me to win the most Grand Slams and be remembered in this world. I certainly don't have to win little tournaments here, there and everywhere, I don't have to win at all. Although I do want to.

I've been very focused on my career outside of tennis.

Tennis doesn't owe me anything. Tennis is one of the fairest sports. It's given me so many extraordinary feelings.

I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.

I've got more out of tennis than I could ever give back.

If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there's going to be a life after tennis that's a lot longer than your tennis life.

Tennis is my life, obviously; I need to focus, I need to win. But it's not the only thing. I'm not going to play forever.
