It would be more interesting, more exciting, if a player lost a point if wrong on the second challenge. It would make the player think before challenging. Particularly in a tie-breaker where every point counts.
I haven't seen a professional player come out of New York in over 20 years since my brother Patrick came out. Blake spent a few years in Harlem, but he moved to Connecticut when he was a kid.
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.
If you want to be a tennis player, then mould yourself on Roger Federer. I won three Wimbledon titles and I wish I could play like him.
If Roger stopped right now and never won another match, to me he'd already be one of the greatest players to ever play the game. To me, he's the greatest all around talent that I've ever seen.
I want to be remembered as a great player, but I guess it will be as a player who got angry on a tennis court.
I think it's the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations.
I'll let the racket do the talking.
It would be fitting; I hope he does it. For a country like Croatia, it would mean even more than when I did it for the States.
Most guys would like to play the guy they have the winning record against. That's what you love about Roger he embraces the challenge.
When I was 25, if you'd have said I was going to be a commentator, that would seem like, 'Oh, my God. That's a huge step down.'
If anyone's been listening to my commentary the past year then they know I'm in favor of using replay. I think it will make tennis more interesting.
I would be lying to you if said I'm not thinking about it.
I'd love to see a seniors event at U.S. Open in singles, not just hit-and-giggle doubles.
