Stefan Edberg

A good thing is I’ve been playing tennis I think every day for the last two months. I really haven’t had a day off. I’ve been doing things that I did used to do.

I’ve been in a lot of trouble and come out of it. I think it shows a lot of good character.

I felt that I did have the crowd behind me. That obviously helps a lot.

You lose some, you win some. Nothing wrong with that at all.

I’ve been here playing against Connors and it can be very, very loud. It makes it exciting at the same time.

I played Chang here under the lights here. I think that was ’91. Another good match. I’ve played a lot more good matches under the lights than I played bad. You tend to remember some of the bad ones unfortunately.

The crowds can be very loud, especially when you’re playing in the evening.

If I’m going to be out there, I want to be in the top 10 and really have a chance of winning a Grand Slam.

I think in 1991, when Jimmy got to the semifinals, it was just incredible all of the people coming out.

I’m really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that’s really important.

I’m telling you, it’s so exciting playing out there because I’m playing well, you have the crowd behind you, and it’s such a good feeling. I’m really having a good time out there.

If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.

A win is a win.

I’ve been on the tour for many, many years. It’s time for me to go now, before it’s too late.

I felt better being in the background. That’s the way I like it.

As years go by, chances of winning here are getting slimmer. That’s just a matter of fact. It does get tougher, but it’s possible, there’s a tiny little chance.

I’m always being realistic.

Since a month, two months ago, you know, I’ve started hitting the ball well. I’m playing some really good tennis. That really helps. I sort of have to motivate myself to get pumped up. It really helps my game a lot.
