The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose.
You cannot be serious!
I have never seen someone point after point that just gives it everything.
Well I think that's probably one of a few, where I grew up in the City of New York, it's got a lot of energy, my parents are Irish-American so there was a bit of yelling going on in my house but it seemed normal.
It's hard to be in a booth five hours, step out of the booth and be on the court in 20 minutes. I feel like I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to get into the commentating, and I want to do that right and correctly, and I'm not sure I have enough in the tank, so to speak, to do both.
When I was eight and a half, my parents moved to a part of Queens where there was a club nearby. We joined, and if you believe in someone up above, I think I was meant to play tennis.
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.
Simply the fact that (Agassi) has put out more and James is fresher coming in.
When I was 25, if you'd have said I was going to be a commentator, that would seem like, 'Oh, my God. That's a huge step down.'
I would be lying to you if said I'm not thinking about it.
