We are coming to play San Jose for one reason -- to win the SAP Open doubles title. Jonas and I are not doing this just for fun. We think that this will be great for the game of tennis.
Equipment's the biggest change. And the guys have been getting bigger, stronger, more athletic - so the game has become more of a track meet instead of a tennis match, in a sense.
Tennis is a funny game; unbelievable highs and the lows are just as low.
If Roger stopped right now and never won another match, to me he'd already be one of the greatest players to ever play the game. To me, he's the greatest all around talent that I've ever seen.
We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can't just depend on the fact that it is a great game.
Roddick is already feeling the heat because he took a step back this last year. There's no doubt that if (Federer) plays up to his capability, he's going to win it.
I think it can. The powers that be, IMG, the ATP, need to work together more coherently.
It can work. Hopefully, we can find a way into some of the big events; a combination of places like Naples, as well as having an event at the U.S. Open or Wimbledon.
Most guys would like to play the guy they have the winning record against. That's what you love about Roger he embraces the challenge.
We've come this far so we might as well go all the way.
If anyone's been listening to my commentary the past year then they know I'm in favor of using replay. I think it will make tennis more interesting.
I felt like I had it in me, but I didn't know quite what was going to happen.
I'd love to see a seniors event at U.S. Open in singles, not just hit-and-giggle doubles.
Neutering is good for his temper, it's good for his health, and it's the most important thing you can do to make a difference for homeless animals! ... Did you know that shelters have to kill more than 4 million animals every year just because there aren't enough good homes out there? I can't have that on my conscience!
