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

I have been playing tennis for a very long time. Tennis is my life. I see my life in other places, and there are other challenges for me.

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

Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.

It's just nice to see people enthusiastic about their tennis and want to learn and improve - for me that's the most important thing - I still love my tennis.

It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player.

I've been around tennis, and I have a feeling for the sport. I still play tennis, and I can still do a lot of harm to a lot of people.

I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.

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