You have to look at each tie and look at what your options are.

What I've seen historically is winning is a major aloe. It solves a lot of problems.

I am there to play tennis and represent the U.S., but I'm also aware that not everyone's going to be able to think that way.

The reason I didn't take the baseball route is because they don't have rankings for baseball players.

I think all of us who kind of live within the sport recognize that Davis Cup certainly could be a little more visible if perhaps there were some adjustments made to it, and it was made a little bit more easy to understand for the fans, if there's a little bit more of a start and finish line.

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

You can drill down on where hunger comes from and figure it out from there, but there absolutely has to be a sense of urgency if you're going to play tennis because you're the team - there's no one for you to rely on but yourself.
