There's Always One Shot That

For So Long People Have Just Taken What I Do For Granted. It Is Not Easy To Do Year-in, Year-out, To Win Grand Slams And Be No. 1.

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.

It's Not My Place To Tell You Whom To Vote For, To Take Any Political Stand, To Tell You What Religion To Believe In. I'm An Athlete. I Can Influence Certain Things, But When I See Other Athletes And Celebrities Telling You Whom To Vote For, I Actually Get A Bit Offended.

I Don`t Know Why, But I Love The Dog Eat Dog Nature Of Tennis. It`s Real, It`s Brutal And There`s No Hiding Place - It's Like A One To One Street Fight. I Love The Intensity That Comes With Knowing You Walk Off Court Either A Winner Or A Loser. It`s Daunting But Very Exciting. There Is No One To Blame Except Yourself, No One Cares Who Comes Second.

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.
