I always said if I had to pick one Grand Slam to win, it would be the U.S. Open.

He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.

Stay in school kids or you'll end up being an umpire.

One little secret of the guys who have won one slam, is that we don't want other guys to win one because its like a bit of a special fraternity.

I kind of know youre only as good as your last result.

Umpiring, the only job in the world where you can screw up on a daily basis and still have one!

There's no doubt there are issues with clay. Our issues have issues that are issues right now. That's not a secret.
