I always dreamed of being on center court, playing the best in the world.

I've been playing against really good guys. Put myself in positions to win. Eventually I'll win more than I lose these.

For a while I feel like I can play against anyone in the world.

Being back home is a great thing for me, being with my family, being with friends, being with people that have got your back no matter what.

It's good to bring a different feel to tennis, and that's what I feel like I bring. I bring a different feel, a different swagger to tennis. I'm very easygoing, and very nonchalant, it looks like, when I'm out there - I've got a little strut, and I like that.

I have that balance of having fun - because I can need to have a ton of fun - but also locking it in at times.

I'm putting constant pressure on my opponents and really dictating play.

I'm really trying to understand my game.

Obviously, Jay Z definitely got my attention. I thought it was pretty cool that he wanted me on the team.

To get a former player that has been there and has that extra intel. Jose Higueras is a great coach for that and a great person as well.

Anybody plays a good match, you can beat anybody on a given day.

I need to get a lot better.

Obviously it's how bad do you really want to be successful, essentially. Like, what does that really mean to you? Why are you doing it?

Look, I'm not saying you can't make it if you grew up from a wealthy situation. I mean, a ton of people have.

Tennis needs some different personalities and a lot more emotions.

Guys are so good. It's just about how badly you want it. I want it real bad.

It's all about competing.

I'm going for the big moments - I want the big moments. I just tell myself, 'Remember the work you did, the things you went through. And keep going.'

I'm not perfect. But I hold myself to a high standard every day.

I maximize every day.

To see my brother, see my friends, I think it builds character for me, just being accountable for myself.

I've had signs I can play at the highest level.

It really shaped me as a person going to DeMatha. Anyone that plays athletics or does music or does whatever, it teaches them to work to the best of their abilities.

It's not like everything was given to me. I had to really work hard for it and earn it.

I've been on a tennis court all my life. The only thing that's been there longer is the net post.

I'm very thankful for what I have. I don't want to let anyone down.

I think about all the kids that look up to me now... Things are possible if you go get it.

I was lucky; I got so many opportunities.

I know in the back of my head I have a Grand Slam win, which definitely takes a lot off of me, a big load off.

I learned that I could definitely play at a really high level and I definitely belong at this level.

I just got to keep competing and keep believing.

It's an honor to play on the same team as some of the best players in the history of the game.

I think winning at Wimbledon's huge. This is the biggest tournament in tennis for so many different reasons. You can see the history around the grounds. The Village around you, everyone lives for it.

All credit to Robby Ginepri. He's helped me a lot.

This is what I've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to be a professional tennis player.

I knew I was going to play pro tennis when I was 12.

Tennis is my life.

I never try to get ahead of myself because there's nothing that bothers me more than cockiness. I don't think that's necessary at all.

If anything, you just let your racket talk - there's no reason for you to talk if your racket can.

Clay... is my favorite surface.

If you stop working hard, that's when things get to your head.

I'm trying to... stay humble and keep doing what I do.

Without my dad doing what he did, and without me putting in the hours, there wouldn't be any travelling the world or playing with the pros. He's a huge part of it.

My goal isn't to be a top junior. It's to be a top pro.

I just wanted to play and play and play. When everyone left, I'd stay on the court and hit serves or play against the wall.

I mean, sometimes you have to go to work.

It doesn't really matter who I turn pro with. What matters is where I take my tennis.

I'm pretty close with a majority of the black tennis players.

Davis Cup helped me a lot. Being in that great atmosphere and having the chance to hit with top 50 guys everyday, being on the practice courts, that gave me a lot of confidence.

From the ground, I'm pretty solid from both sides. My form really helps me a lot and my backend complements it.
