I didn't serve and volley until I got to Wimbledon in '77.
I'm surprised that it went to the final tiebreaker, but the right team won.
I'm the oldest guy in the field and I was playing until 9.30 the night before.
I want to inspire the old people. The old dog wants to teach the young guys a few new tricks.
C'mon, Anna, right at the girl, ... She's the champion of Canada.
I guess we should wait until the results come in.
That was a brutal call. The whole thing could have just turned. It was inside the line.
It means a lot to be back in New York. Particularly since one of the last senior event scheduled in the States was supposed to be here in New York. We were supposed to play in Central Park right after 9-11 and when 9-11 happened obviously things changed.
The ushers are looking for a couple of bucks and they will sit people down right in the middle of the game. They will do it and you've got to live with that.
A lot of time there is hype and people talking about players when deep down they know it's not going to happen but Murray is really capable of being a great player. He has a way of keeping you off balance and a real feel for the game. Mentally he's proved to be pretty tough and his body has grown as well recently. He plays hard, shows a lot of emotion and is a breath of fresh air. Just the type of player tennis needs.
It's hard to be in a booth five hours, step out of the booth and be on the court in 20 minutes. I feel like I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to get into the commentating, and I want to do that right and correctly, and I'm not sure I have enough in the tank, so to speak, to do both.
I am not a monster. I'm not all bad. Maybe 10 percent. I think I'm 90 percent good.
I had a similar year back in 1984 when I felt like I couldn't lose.
The good part of having six kids is, there's always one who wants to hug you and say, 'Daddy, I love you.'
