There are things we can't control - like the wins and the losses.

You can kick a ball into the net, throw a basketball into the net. Tennis is complicated. It'll make a lot of great athletes run the other way because they can't be successful initially.

Trophies separate the winners from losers, and life is about winning and losing. Go into business and you see. You're competing every day.

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

There is a lot of pressure on tennis players like other sports that are singular like you're not on a team. When all the pressure rides on your shoulders, it can be a lot different. Team sports you share those moments with the teammates. You share the pressures. You share the wins. You share the losses. You have a coach that can change the course of matches. But in tennis you're out there by yourself. There are no caddies. There are no coaches. You do it alone in the arena and I think that ups the ante a little bit.

You need to look to make a cohesive calendar that makes sense and helps elongate the careers of your players as opposed to shorten them inadvertently.

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.
