Well, you know, I've bonded with a lot of people over the years, you know. We played the same tournaments year after year and we go back to the same place and many times the seats have been full and that has meant the world to me for sure.
But, I would say when I was four years old and I was at the Alan King Tennis Tournament and I was hitting with all the pros that would come to town. They would get me on the court or take notice and that stayed with me.
When I was 7 years old I saw Jimmy Connors make someone carry his bag, as though he were Julius Caesar. I vowed then and there that I would always carry my own.
It never seizes to amaze me how much I enjoy playing here and how much you fans have meant to me over the years.

Robby's improved a lot, ... He's gotten a lot smarter with his game. ... I was very impressed with how he's improved since last time I've played him.
Roger played way too good today. I just lost to a guy who is better. He is the best I have ever played against.
