You've got to love what you're doing. If you love it, you can overcome any handicap or the soreness or all the aches and pains, and continue to play for a long, long time.

It's tough to play well - or not that well - when you're injured.

When you get old and play every day like I did, it's hard. Hard on your body. You start to get sore. You gain weight. But that makes me work harder, be stronger in my mind, and show I can still play.

I'll practice as good as I can, but I know that I play even better, with the qualities I have - leadership, my ability to make something happen in games, winning.

If all goes well and my body reacts well, and I feel I have a good high level to compete amongst the best then I'll come back and play.

I don't know how many years I can still play. I have to listen to my body and see how it feels.

I need to get better as a player, I need to get fitter, and I need to get better on the mental side. It's exciting for me, because there's so much I could do better. I don't feel like I've really maxed out any shot. People talk about my serve, but I think that can even get better.

I just want to play until I think I don't feel good - and if I can still do it. If I can't do it, I don't think I'll keep going once I don't feel I'm playing the way I want to.

When I go out to play, I still believe I'm as good as anyone out there. I don't have to prove anyone wrong. I know what I've done and how well I can play.

I don't think, as a player, I have a weakness on the field. I've done a great job of becoming good at everything, so I think that's what separates me.
