dropping hope press rankings top worry
If there were rankings for press conferences, I wouldn't have to worry about dropping out of the top five, I hope.
bit maybe shots top totally
The shots he was able to come up with were very good. Maybe I was a bit spacey out there. I wasn't totally on top of things.
cup davis definitely list top
Davis Cup is definitely on the top of my list of priorities.
add aspect calls challenges drama human per player tennis time top tv
On top of just getting the calls right time after time, which will be nice, it'll add another aspect for TV viewers. If a player has two challenges per set, it will add drama and excitement. This will add to tennis and take out a lot of human error.

Without doubt, this was my best match on clay and it needed to be. I could have easily lost today.
bit felt four good hours run shock totally
This totally blindsided me, ... I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here. I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest. I'd give anything to go back four hours right now.

tennis fifth
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!
people return volley
I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.
successful player
I'm the most successful bad player ever.
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.'
giving tennis lines
I do understand that when someone gives you a [expletive] load of money, you take that money. Someone like Larry Ellison wants to invest into his event and make it the biggest possible, and he gets stopped by the ATP. If you're a start-up, what would make you want to navigate through that and to go through that firing line? How can you step into tennis with any confidence? It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
play water tennis
No, actually I wanted to play five. I definitely wanted to try to lose that fourth set and test the waters in the fifth.
