There's no evidence that says that the money a federation has translates into success. I hope that that will change.

I think there's no reason the Davis Cup couldn't be as powerful and popular and profitable as any of the four majors are today, given some changes.

I will do everything in my power to make sure people are aware that our team is out there fighting the good fight for the tennis fans of the United States.

You can look directly at the NFL and see how successful they've become because they have central control, central voice, and it doesn't mean that the owners don't have a say, but the commissioner runs it, and he's the one who speaks for them when they go out and do commercial deals.

It does take a great hunger to be successful at anything.

Hell be lucky to last five or six years on those knees. What it might have to come down to is playing less on hard surfaces and playing more on forgiving surfaces.

What separates the winners from the losers is that they can deal with doing their best while still coming up short.
