(The ATP) goes in and say 'We're going to change the rules of tennis,' ... The ITF is not going to change it...We need to do more research. And we just need to talk positive about the doubles. |
(The players) have been having quite a lot of meetings, |
ATP is going to kill doubles games, ... This is the most ridiculous change I have ever seen throughout my career. |
I am excited about the new guy de Villiers, ... We need a new direction...we are worldwide very well known. It shouldn't be so difficult. |
I felt very relaxed going on the court. I managed to play my best tennis in the biggest match of the week. |
I play singles and doubles, and I think that's what every player should be encouraged to do. |
I played really solid and never really gave him a chance. |
I received a wildcard to enter the singles draw just two weeksbefore the tournament... Honestly, It's a small tournament. I would want to play it with someone can win the match. I wanted to play with Johansson, but he paired with someone else in the doubles draw, and that's why I didn't enter the doubles event. |
I'm not surprised. He's so smart. He plays with his head. What really impressed me was how he managed to take the power of the younger guys so well. |
I've been waiting for this moment for more than a year and half to be playing this well. There was a time I believed I may never play this well again. It's nice that it's back. |
It cannot be more stupid to play two different systems at the tour and Grand Slams. Nobody around me approved the experiment. |
It's always hard to play a countryman. We are very very good friends and do a lot of things off the court. |
It's great to see his quality out there. |
The tournament directors have a lot of ideas, and the players have a lot of ideas, ... Unfortunately not every tournament director is willing to listen...and we probably don't have the right people in position (at the ATP). We need some fresh people in there, some new business people in there. |
They (The ATP) went in and said 'We're going to change the rules of tennis'. They haven't even consulted our players before they made up their decisions I am open to any change but it must based on the smart and complete research. |
