People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.

The way I hold the club, I’ve got my hand way over, like I’m driving a motorcycle. My Kawasaki grip.

I could be a jerk and get a lot more publicity, but that’s not who I am.

Once the US Open is over in the States, mainstream America doesn’t really follow tennis, unless you are a true tennis fan.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

There’s always one shot that I can rely on when I’m not hitting the ball that well, is my serve.

I don’t look so much for tips. But when they interview a Nicklaus or a Palmer, I’m all ears. I listen to guys who have done it, been successful for years.

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.

That’s not what I’m looking forward to, just being home and just kind of not really sure kind of what to do with myself.

I’m not going to give in to the critics. I’m going to stop on my own terms, not on when someone else thinks I should.
