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.'

I think I've always had a decent perspective on wins and losses on the tennis court.

It would have been unprofessional, ... You don't want that quality of a match to end like that. You would not want to rub it in people's faces.

First round of the U.S. Open, the last time that happened I was 17. It's not something I expected. You know, I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here.
