It's the end of an era

My man in tennis retired last night. He pretty much got raped by Hewitt but at the end he still celebrated by wearing the No.10 Croatian soccer guernsey and bowing for the crowd. I'm not sure who that is but being the No.10 guernsey, i guess it's their best player. I dont know i find patriotism quite ugly at times....but he's my man in tennis.

Anyway I'm going to celebrate this moment with a few bits of gold

'I wouldn't want to go to a sports psychiatrist, because when you're finished, you come out more crazy than you go in.' 'I still break racquets, but now I do it in a positive way.'

'I changed my attitude in my head. I had to have a press conference with myself. After I did the press conference, everything was working.'

'The trouble with me is that every match I play against five opponents: umpire, crowd, ball boys, court, and myself.'

When you ask him about a plan to speed up matches, he explains: "Good. I like to play fast. Too many players bounce the ball, they look at me, they look at the ground. They bounce it 10 times. They look at the sky. They bounce it again an' I fall asleep."

"It was the happiest day of my life. It came out of nowhere, it was like a dream, a fairytale.. I went back to my home city Split to celebrate and nearly 200,000 out of a city of 350,000 turned up for me. It was unbelievable. We were singing songs and I stripped in front of so many. I'd only ever stripped in front of my girlfriend before that!
