"When a kid is coming up and asking for an autograph and almost shaking - like I was when I asked Steffi Graf for her autograph - it is an honor and a responsibility."

"I saw her once on a plane, but I was too shy to say hello to her. I met her for the first time in Orlando in 2004 when we did something for a sponsor," "My legs were shaking, and that will never change. I feel we have a lot in common, and she gave me a lot (in tennis)." "I'm like a little girl in front of Steffi," "I'll always be a big fan. It's always emotional for me."
