“Honestly, I’d love to play some more tennis again,” he said. “Enough with the golf, I’ve played so much. So seriously, I would love to start playing two or three times a week & hopefully get myself back on the exhibition court and fill up a few nice around the world. I have no plans yet. The training part, I miss it a little bit. I haven’t played a whole lot since I retired because my body and mind needed a break. I have with my kids, but I would love to go and practice as I travel and hopefully you will see me play an exhibition soon.”
