We did a poor job of communication. We need to let people know what's happening out here. We're going to improve the food, offer more things and make it more accessible for fans to get to. |
We didn't plan well enough for the weather. I want to plan for the wind and the cold, and I want to make it better for the fans and the players. |
We have 16 players who are the No. 1 player in their country. The cutoff to get into (the tournament) was No. 68 (in the ATP rankings). No tournament outside of a Grand Slam has that kind of quality and depth. |
We were just looking to find the best partner that was willing to wrap their arms around the tournament and make a great home for it. |
We'll have another great field, believe me. Even with the bad weather, none of the players complained. |
Would we love to have had (Roddick)? Absolutely. But there's going to be a lot of great tennis played by some amazing athletes. |
