I have always considered tennis as a combat in an arena between two gladiators who have their racquets and their courage as their weapons.
When I see this atmosphere, I miss tennis. It's a lot tougher, because you feel helpless and can't help your child. It was painful, and they won. Imagine if they lose?
We flew to Miami and then chartered a plane here to be on time. I'm really excited, I'm proud of him. I'm happy that people like him the way he is.
We weren't supposed to make it here in time for the game but we flew to Miami and chartered a plane to be here on time.
I'm so happy. I'm so happy for him, but also for all of his friends. They deserve it. It's a beautiful story.
Marley, I can sing half of his repertory, but the influence it had on me is more in my way of seeing the things from a strictly musical point of view.
He wasn't very good; he was too big.
He has just lived through the most intense moments of his life. He is still away in his cosmos.
When you're young and you don't play in these situations, you just don't know. I think the more we play in these situations, the better we're going to become.
Cracked was a very short warrior, whereas Marley was a pacifist warrior.
Your child is happy. What else could you want?
I know he's been working really hard. I talk to him all the time, and I feel like he's trying as hard as he can. And he's happy here. I'm happy that he's happy.
I'm really surprised by the way he's playing, especially the last few weeks. He's working hard, and most of all, he's on a good team. The way they play allows him to play his own style.
I never thought I would feel such emotions. I'm really thankful to be a part of this. It is very special.
