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. As much as I was disappointed and frustrated at times, I'm not sure that I ever felt sorry for myself or begrudged anybody any of their success.

My life as a professional athlete has allowed me the opportunity to visit and live in many different places and meet many interesting and diverse people.

I'm not saying I'm something special. I might play a little better tennis than other people, but it is because I was given the chance, and not many people are.

In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people, to travel and expand my financial capabilities, to get ideas and learn about life, to create a world apart from basketball.

My audiences have given me lots of love as a tennis player. I hope they appreciate my passion for acting.

It was a great privilege for me and my teammates to follow in the footsteps of sporting greats like Roger Federer and Tiger Woods.

I can be a tennis player, a golf player, and even a soccer player.

When I retired from tennis I wanted to do other things with my life.

I have a passion for playing tennis and enjoy the workload and struggles of performing in this amazing global sport.

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