To me, it feels like business as usual. I think it's good that, including Dean, we're all familiar with each other and the Davis Cup situation and how the lead-up week is supposed to go. So I think that helps a little bit.

I feel more prepared. Last year, you know, I didn't - we played Davis Cup in December, so by the time this came around it felt pretty quick to me. I definitely feel like I did more due diligence this year, was a little more ready to go and had a little bit more time to prepare on my terms.

Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!

jobs winning should-have
Tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world because whatever the person does, if it works you just say that's what's good, and if it doesn't work, you guys go, 'He should have done the other things.'.It just doesn't take much thought. If I'm grinding and I'm winning, you guys are like, 'He's reinvented himself.' If I'm playing like crap and pushing, then, you know, 'He's horrible and he needs to hit the ball.'
