I Don't Think About Tennis 24/7. I

I Like Grass, I Enjoy It And It Suits My Game.

He [vince Spadea] Was About As Down And Out As You Could See From A Top 20 Player. Then To Claw His Way Back Through The Minor Leagues And Do It The Hard Way Where He Wasn't Young, Wasn't Getting Wildcards, Wasn't Getting Any Help. I Guess He Decided He Was Just Going To Do It.

Most Players Who Play Tennis Love The Game. But I Think You Also Have To Respect It. You Want To Do Everything You Can In Your Power To Do Your Best. And For Me, I Know I Get Insane Guilt If I Go Home At The End Of The Day And Don't Feel I've Done Everything I Can. If I Know I Could Have Done Something Better, I Have This Uneasy Feeling.

I Used To Hear A Lot That All I Could Do Was Hit A Serve, I Couldn't Volley, I Can't Hit A Backhand, I Don't Return Well, And Then People Would Turn Round And Tell Me I'm Underachieving.

I've Become Better At The Net. I've Got A 135 Mph Serve So I'd Be Stupid Not To Follow That In. Overall I'm A Better Player Than I Was Last Year.
