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

I was very lucky in as much as I played a lot of tennis.

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.

I'd won the Australian Open twice, but winning Wimbledon takes something special.

Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had.

I would like to thank all my tennis fans who were there from Day One when I was No. 1, through my stabbing, and my comeback.

First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.

It was so inspiring for me to watch tennis growing up. I thought I was really good playing, until my brother told me I wasn't!

Each weekend I play at least one and maybe two sets of tennis a day. My doubles team was in the finals recently at my tennis club in Palm Beach and lost a tiebreaker after a three-hour match. I must confess, by the end of the three hours, I was relieved it was over.

It wasn't my tennis that made me lose, it was a lot of different things going on, high drama, high emotion.
