At these Grand Slams, we play on 20 courts. Is it fair to have it only on the one big-match court?

It definitely would make it more exciting if three of the four Grand Slam winners were here. You can't force someone to go out on the court when they don't feel like they want to compete at this level.

I will never forget Wimbledon, it is something that I don't want to forget, ... There was great disappointment in losing that, but the great thing about tennis is that you have more tournaments and more Grand Slams. I have another one coming up in two days and I am going to try to win it and build some more memories.
committed course fact finish focus good grand matches mean mine mission proud season slam title top win year
It's not a mission of mine to end the year No.1. I know if I win everything I have a very good chance, but I just want to focus on the matches I have to win and the tournaments that I'm committed to for the remainder of this year. Of course I'd take another Grand Slam title over the No.1 ranking any day, but I am proud of the fact that I'll probably finish another season at least in the Top Three. That's no mean feat.
gets grand maybe proud top tough year
I'm really proud of myself that I'm so consistent. But it gets tough to be at the top year after year and not have one of the Grand Slams. Maybe I'll still get lucky.
