The first thing I would do is create one office that controlled all of pro tennis so you had one central voice that spoke for tennis. Central governance is something that's really held the sport back and will continue to do so.

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

Sports for me is when a guy walks off the court, and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way.

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

Even the poor can be fat in the U.S. That says something about a country. That's how incredible what we have is. But it can also take away incentive.

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.

Tennis is more than just shots. It's about being clutch and beating the people on the other side of the net.
