There are certainly great cities in America that don't have ATP and WTA events. Our fans are very provincial. They want American champions.

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

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.

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.

It is very dangerous to have your self-worth riding on your results as an athlete.

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

You'd have to think that if he'd been around today, Rod Laver would have been Rod Laver.
