The way I look at the top five, (Rod) Laver, (Roger) Federer, myself, Borg and (Ivan) Lendl. I think those five guys dominated their generations better than anyone. Maybe Roger will dominate better than any one of the other four. Maybe I put Andre (Agassi) as kind of six through 10 with, you know, (John) McEnroe and (Jimmy) Connors, kind of those guys. That's kind of how I see it.
I feel much more respected in Europe than I do in the States from the press and from the people. Americans expect me to win every match I play.
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.
I loved Wimbledon and what it meant, but the surface felt uncomfortable. I just didn't like it, I was a hard-court guy, a Californian kid.
My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall. If I can match them for 10 years, I'd be in their company. They were class acts. That's what I'd like to be.
I am here for the goal, and the goal is to try to do it again.
I didn't have a big fat Greek wedding, but I have a lot of fat Greek friends.
In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf.

As long as I feel like I can win majors and contend, I'll continue to play.
A couple hundred people around, and I'm shaking.
I'm enjoying my retirement, enjoying my life. I have two kids and a lot of my time is spent chasing these two animals.
Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.
With this ranking system, the more you play, the better off you are.
It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed.
I admire the way golfers handle themselves. But tennis players are a lot younger, as a rule. There aren't many teenagers on the golf tour.
Baseball is America's pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States.
I'm staying in shape, working out.
Anything can happen out there on any court.
I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve.
Tennis is seen all around the world; if I am home or anywhere in the country, United States, people will stare.
I could be a jerk and get a lot more publicity, but that's not who I am.

I can't just wake up and watch TV and do nothing. I need a day off working out, seeing the wife, play a little golf, see my kids.
After I went through two years of not winning an event, what kept me going was winning one more major. Once I won that last U.S. Open, I spent the next six months trying to figure out what was next. Slowly my passion for the sport just vanished. I had nothing left to prove.
