Big Dreams Are So Damn Tiring.

Tennis Was Always Sort Of A - A Learning. It Was A Vehicle For Me To Discover A Lot About Myself. And The Things That I Sort Of Discovered At Times I Not Only Didn't Want To See It For Myself But I Certainly Didn't Want Millions Of People To See It.

My Father Actually Moved Out From Chicago Just So He Could Play Tennis 365 Days A Year, So It Was - It Was A Place We Played Every Day. We Played Before School. We Played After School. We Woke Up. We Played Tennis. We Brushed Our Teeth In That Order.

First Of All, In Any Sport Where You Can Measure Distance, Height Speed And All Of That, You See How Athletes Have Changed Their Sport And Made It Better. I Believe, With Every Generation, The Sport Has Improved. Certainly, In The Men's Game, That Has Been The Case. I Think That I Played Pete [sampras] At His Best, I Played Roger [federer] At His Best.. I Believe Wholeheartedly That Roger And [rafael] Nadal Have Pushed The Game Much Further Than Myself Or Pete Ever Did. Their Options On The Tennis Court Are Considerably More Than Ours.

Every Now And Then I Will Play; I Try To Focus On Charitable Work. I Might Do It Because It's An Offer I Can't Refuse, So I Rally And Try To Stay In Shape And Keep Myself Active.

I'm Going To Wake Up Tomorrow And Start With Not Caring How I Feel. That's Going To Feel Great.
