I think it would be amazing for the fans of tennis to be able to see them. But first things first. I'd like to see the sport come together to figure out a way to make sure they don't get into the wrong hands.
It's an incredible serve. I'm trying to figure out where it is I would need to have to stand on the court to have the same trajectory. You're sort of diving, but then you can't reach it, even if you dive perfectly and on cue.
It's an incredible serve, ... I'm trying to figure out where it is I would need to stand on the court to have the same trajectory. It's not a function of how fast it is because a lot of guys can serve it 135-plus. The trajectory is the main issue because you're lunging, but then it's up. You're sort of diving, but then you can't reach it, even if you dive perfectly and on cue.
I just have a lot to be thankful for inside those lines, and certainly outside those lines as well, ... I'm more motivated now than ever to go out there and figure out a way through the battle.

We're going to come down to South Florida really early and visit her family, as well. And I'll be preparing for what will hopefully be a great week and a great year.
When you see a little bit of that edge off, when he comes down into just warp speed, it gives you a little breath of life.
When you're young, you can sleep in till 12,
Some moments it feels longer, other moments it feels like it's flown by; you can't believe you've done it all that time... Overall, you have a strong sense for the full spectrum that you've sort of traveled.
The court was playing pretty fast, it almost felt like playing tennis with golf balls out there. But I am feeling fine physically. I think need a few more matches before I can start competing better.
