I think it will be a terrific addition for tennis. |
I'm a big proponent of Hawk-Eye. I think it's a wonderful addition, not only for the players, but more importantly for the fans. |
I'm not a doctor but it's probably the Achilles. |
In the beginning, he did everything with the viewpoint of what's in it for Andre. But he transformed himself from just another selfish athlete into a generous, caring, enlightened person, someone who ran away from responsibility and now dresses himself up in it. |
It is very dangerous to have your self-worth riding on your results as an athlete. |

Roger (Federer) has said unequivocally that he doesn't want Hawk-Eye, he doesn't want to change anything, but if you're playing as well as he is, you don't want to change your socks, your underwear, your girlfriend, your agent, anything. |

The match was decided by absolutely top-flight tennis at the most crucial moments -- rather than nerves, rather than bad calls. It was a pure tennis match, in that sense, by two guys who everyone could aspire to be, battling it out in the most sportsmanlike fashion. And it was a truly heartfelt hug afterwards, too. It was a moving match, and they don't come as often as we'd like. |
The writing's been on the wall. Tennis takes us all over the world. People aspire to be the players they see on TV, and that's where dreams come from. |
