His experience and work ethic is a wonderful example for the rest of this squad. This is a very professional bunch of players and I am confident in our team spirit - we will be well prepared for the task at hand. |
How upset is Andy Roddick right now looking at this guy get dismantled? ... Rather embarrassing, I would say. |
I did all that up until the time I had kids, then I started to see things differently. But he'll be top 20 within a year. |
I felt like I had it in me, but I didn't know quite what was going to happen. |
I guess we should wait until the results come in. |
I had to lift my game. Aaron played incredible tennis and had me going where I didn't want to go. |
I know anything can happen but then again you can still dream even at (age) 47. I couldn't pick a better place to come back. I love this area, and I loved the crowd support. |
I played a lot of night matches, ... People have finished a long hard day of work and they try to loosen up a bit. The players have more time to get worked up and get themselves psyched up. There's just an energy there that lends itself to more unpredictability but also, in a lot of cases, some greater tennis. |
I think at some stage in the near future we should consider a Sunday evening or Monday evening (men's) final, |
I think I'm about as fit as I've been the last 10 years. As far as my fitness level for playing a couple sets of doubles, this isn't about fitness. This is going to be about -- you know, luck is going to have something to do with it, mentally sort of how I handle it, how Jonas handles it, how my opponents handle it. Everyone is going to come into this with a different level of pressure, feeling they have to prove themselves in different ways. From that standpoint, the way I see it, it's more mental than anything else. I could see myself doing doubles in five years. I hardly feel like that's a big issue. |
I think it can. The powers that be, IMG, the ATP, need to work together more coherently. |
I think it's the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations. |
I think the U.S. Open was the best in many years, with (Andre) Agassi making the finals. The problem is accessibility. They need to improve on that part. They aren't making enough effort to show their personality. They have gone in the wrong direction for too long and need to improve. |
I told Jonas to pick up me up because I was bound to drop down after my birthday. |
I want to inspire the old people. The old dog wants to teach the young guys a few new tricks. |
