People all the time try to take my outside interests and make them a negative. My life has always been like that and it always will be like that. I don't think it necessarily means that while I'm concentrating on tennis I can't put 100% into it. If I didn't have 100 different interests, I probably wouldn't be as good a player.

When you're in the second set and you start thinking I have to win this and get it over, the pressure to finish quickly can get to you.

I haven't always been as gracious a loser as I could have been.

I've learned to really appreciate the courtside position and the art of picking up certain subtleties. Player expression you can't see from a camera angle, or the booth.

Living in Los Angeles and having three little kids, it's hard following the Orioles.

I got to one Grand Slam final, and that's what you shoot for as a player.

Living in Baltimore at age 11, I was still not single-focused on tennis. I still played other sports. It was becoming a bigger part of my life, but it was still mainly my summer hobby.
