Tipping Generally Changes Depending On Where You Are In The World. In Britain You Don't Always Have To Tip, But I Always Make Sure I Do. I Have A Lot Of Respect For Waiters And Waitresses - It Can't Be An Easy Job And They Often Don't Get Paid Huge Amounts, So I Think It's Important To Reward Them And Let Them Know If They Are Giving Great Service.

The Truth Is, I Have Lots Of Emotions Inside. I Cried After The Semi-final At Wimbledon [2012] Because I Was Proud To Reach The Final And I Knew How Much It Meant To The Country.

I Had To Pay An Incredible Amount To Get Insured On It And, After A Couple Of Weeks Of Driving It Around, I Realised It Wasn't Quite My Style. I'm Not Flash By Any Means But A Bright Red Ferrari Is A Definite Head-turner And I Hated That. It Was Also Incredibly Impractical, Particularly When It Came To Finding Space For A Friend Or For My Tennis Bag, So I Decided To Sell It After A Few Months.

Shut The World Out, Withdraw From All Worldly Thoughts And Occupations, And Shut Yourself In Alone With God, To Pray To Him In Secret. Let This Be Your Chief Object In Prayer, To Realize The Presence Of Your Heavenly Father.

Abide In Jesus, The Sinless One - Which Means, Give Up All Of Self And Its Life, And Dwell In God's Will And Rest In His Strength. This Is What Brings The Power That Does Not Commit Sin.

I Don't Actually Go To That Many Concerts.

If You Want A Player To Serve And Volley More, You Need To Teach Them To Do That More, How To Move At The Net.

You Are Always Talking About Yourself And Tennis And How You Are Feeling. I Try To Avoid It When I Don't Have To.

I Am Sure That There Are Many Christians Who Will Confess That Their Experience Has Been Very Much Like My Own-that We Had Long Known The Lord Without Realizing That Meekness And Lowliness Of Heart Should Be The Distinguishing Feature Of The Disciple, As They Were Of The Master. Such Humility Is Not A Thing That Will Come On Its Own. It Must Be Made The Object Of Special Desire, Prayer, Faith And Practice.

Not To Be Occupied With Your Sin, But To Be Occupied With God Brings Deliverance From Self.

I Used To Think That Losing Made You More Hungry And Determined But After My Success At The Olympics And The U.s. Open I Realise That Winning Is The Biggest Motivation.

In Tennis, It Is Not The Opponent You Fear, It Is The Failure Itself, Knowing How Near You Were But Just Out Of Reach.

I'd Like To Say That I Am Romantic Person, But I Don't Think I Am. When I Won My First Tournament I Went Into The Crowd And Kissed My Girlfriend. I Was 18 And Didn't Have My Coach With Me, I Was There On My Own, And I Just Needed To Celebrate With Someone I Knew. I Always Start Out With Good Intentions. I'll Say Something Nice, Then I'll Just Put My Foot In It And Ruin The Moment.

I Guess The Closest I Came Was Doing Chores Around The House To Earn Pocket Money. My Brother And I Would Have To Do The Washing Up, Cleaning Around The House, Walking My Grandparents' Dog, Lots Of Things. We Didn't Get A Huge Amount But It Was Always Enough To Be Able To Walk Down To The Local Shops And Get Some Sweets.

Since There Are A Wide Range Of Entrepreneurs Fundraising At Any Given Time, I Looked At Each Opportunity As It Has Arisen And On Its Own Merits. Then I've Sat Down With My Financial Advisers, We've Looked At The Numbers And Gone For The Businesses I Believe Have Real Potential.

Many Christians Backslide...they Are Unable To Stand Against The Temptations Of The World, Or Of Their Old Nature. They Strive To Do Their Best To Fight Against Sin, And To Serve God, But They Have No Strength. They Have Never Really Grasped The Secret: The Lord Jesus Will Every Day From Heaven Continue His Work In Me. But On One Condition-the Soul Must Give Him Time Each Day To Impart His Love And His Grace. Time Alone With The Lord Jesus Each Day Is The Indispensable Condition Of Growth And Power.

I Love Music. I Listen To A Lot Of It.

I'd Have Loved To Have Been A Footballer. I Was Always Playing Football And I Enjoyed It Much More Than Tennis To Begin With. It's More Fun To Play In A Team, All The Parents Are There Cheering You On.

I Don't Go Out Of My Way To Get Noticed. When I'm In Scotland It's Tough, Because Loads Of People Come Up To Me. They're Always Really Polite. It's Nice, It's Fun And Good To Speak To People Who Aren't Involved In Tennis, But Some Have This Habit Of Just Staring At Me And That Makes Me Really Self-conscious. I'd Rather They Came Up And Said Hello.

Tennis Is An Individual Sport, And I Am Quite A Self-conscious Person.

As A Child I Was A Good Boy. Even If I Wasn't Playing Tennis I Don't Think I'd Have Done Things Like Smoking Or Getting Drunk. I'm Lucky I Never Liked The Taste Of Alcohol - I Know, I'm Scottish So What's Wrong With Me? - But I Never Even Liked The Smell Of The Stuff. It's The Same With Smoking, It Never Appealed To Me. I Guess I Missed Out On My Kevin-the-teenager Phase.

The World Asks, "what Does A Man Own?"; Christ Asks, "how Does He Use It?"

No, 'cause, I Mean, The Expectation For Me Is I'm Gonna Try My Best To Win The Tournament. But It's The People That Sort Of Are In The Media, Are In The Press, And The People That Read It Are The Ones That, You Know, See The Expectation Getting Bigger Or Greater Or, You Know, How My Performances Have Been Going, Whatnot.

I've Had An Entrepreneurial Mindset From A Young Age And I've Been Interested In Companies And Products That Are A Little Bit Different.

I Play Fantasy Basketball And Fantasy Football, Soccer.

I Bought A Ferrari...and Then Sold It After A Couple Of Months.

When We Pray For The Spirit's Help ... We Will Simply Fall Down At The Lord's Feet In Our Weakness. There We Will Find The Victory And Power That Comes From His Love.

Coaches Need To Have A Vision.

It's Difficult To Relax On Tournaments, Even In Posh Hotels, Because You Don't Know How Long You Will Be There - Whether You'll Lose A Match On The First Day And Leave Or Whether You'll Stay For Longer.

I'll Be Supporting Anyone But England.

I Don't Play Any Tournaments To Come Second Best.

Abiding Fully Means Praying Much.

Obviously I Would Have Loved To Have Won, But I Have Had A Good Run Every Match.

I'm Definitely Open To Change, But At The Same Time I Am Quite Stubborn.

I Proved That I Can Win The Grand Slams. I Proved That I Can Last Four And A Half Hours And Come Out On Top Against One Of The Strongest Guys Physically That Tennis Had Probably Seen Especially On This Surface. So They Would Probably Be The Things That I Would Say I Have Learned Tonight: To Not Doubt Myself Physically And Mentally From Now On.

Every Week I'll Be Spending Money On Flights, Accommodation, Stringing And Even Things As Simple As Taxis, Meals Out And, Of Course, Paying The Other Members Of My Team. I'm Still Very Careful, Though, With What I'm Spending.

I Understand How Much Everyone Wanted To See A British Winner At Wimbledon And I Hope Everyone Enjoyed It. I Worked So Hard In That Last Game. It's The Hardest Few Points I've Had To Play In My Life. I Don't Know How I Came Through The Final Three Points... That Last Game ... My Head Was Kind Of Everywhere. That Last Game Will Be The Toughest Game I'll Play In My Career, Ever.

Everybody Always Talks About The Pressure Of Playing At Wimbledon, How Tough It Is, But The People Watching Make It So Much Easier To Play.

You Have To Go Into Each Match Believing You Can Beat All Of The Players.

Jesus Has No Tenderness Toward Anything That Is Ultimately Going To Ruin A Man In Service To Him. If God Brings To Your Mind A Vese Which Hurts You, You May Be Sure That There Is Something He Wants To Hurt.

It's Always Nice To Get Good Feedback, And A Bit Of Encouragement Can Go A Long Way.

You Can't Focus On Other People's Careers. Everybody Is Different.

Time Spent In Prayer Will Yield More Than That Given To Work. Prayer Alone Gives Work Its Worth And Its Success. Prayer Opens The Way For God Himself To Do His Work In Us And Through Us. Let Our Chief Work As God's Messengers Be Intercession; In It We Secure The Presence And Power Of God To Go With Us.

Some People Pray Just To Pray And Some People Pray To Know God.
