“I think clearly I've proven I can play at the highest of levels.”
“Playing Slams definitely gives you a surreal view of what can happen, and what you can be.”
“Yeah, definitely on a mission now to compete to try to be winning these tournaments I'm playing.”
“I can personally say if I'm not relevant in the singles world and my only choice is to play doubles, I'd probably stop playing tennis.”
“Clay is my favourite surface.”
“I missed my roots, so I ended up buying a home in Kansas City.”
“I thoroughly enjoy doubles, everyone knows that.”
“It's the tactics, the little things I like to focus on and get better at.”
“I'm entering tournaments every week trying to win.”
“There's been a couple places where I always loved playing doubles 100%, and obviously I go out there and give it my all.”
“Any time you can play in front of home fans and the electric crowds in the U.S., it's always a blast.”
“Having confidence in your physical shape allows your game to get better with it.”
“In tennis that's the beauty. You can always suit up the next week and play another tournament and always have the chance to win it.”
“When you're No. 8 in the world, then you start losing some matches, I think it was the first time in my career my confidence went down, and from there it was a downward spiral.”
“Against Rafa or Roger or Novak, it's about getting over that intimidation, believing you deserve a chance to take them out.”
“My focus is to do the best I can in singles.”
“When you are on the court and a guy shanks a ball off the line, and I think it's the end of the world, then I think about my brother being in a bed for three straight weeks not able to breathe on his own, and it doesn't seem as bad.”
“My goal is to be competing to win tournaments that I'm playing instead of just content with making a quarter.”
“When I was the young guy on tour, I don't think I really grasped what it actually takes to be at this level.”
“I can count on one hand and maybe a couple of fingers on another the number of players I'll keep in touch with after my playing career is over.”
