Excerpt:

Q: When you see a guy like Jimmy Connors succeeding as a coach with Andy Roddick, do you have any interest in that?

A: It has crossed my mind, and people do ask about that. To be a coach takes quite a bit of travelling, and I don't know if I'd like that part. Realistically, I don't see that happening. But I don't know, if someone asks me to do it … I do know what to do out there.

Q: Do you get asked more about Roger Federer than yourself?

A: Yeah. How do you think he'll do? How good is he? It will be a comparison for the next number of years. I really think Roger is going to go on and break most of my records. That's OK. I've reached out and offered him congratulations. I've told him how much I admire and respect what he's been doing.

Q: Do you allow yourself to imagine what it would be like to play Federer when you were both in your prime?

A: I think it would be an interesting match-up. Roger is more of a baseliner; he doesn't like to come in to the net as much. I'm all about pace. I think we both would have our fair share of wins. Neither would dominate the other.

Q: Do you watch a lot of tennis any more?

A: Not a lot. Just the majors.
