If you don't want to practice, unless you have a hard-nosed coach, you don't have to.

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.

What I like about the USTA is that it's developing systems to help the coaches coach better.

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

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.

I knew I was the second-best tennis player in the state of Florida and No. 8 in the United States of America when I was 12 years old and I couldn't tell you what I was in baseball, but I liked my chances in tennis of getting a scholarship to college.

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