I hate that. I feel responsible for providing Pilot Pen spectators with the best entertainment we can possibly put on. But, yes, I do sweat with every single withdrawal.
I've watched him play at Roland Garros and watched people dance in the streets when he won. For me, personally, he is a bit of a legend. I was definitely thrilled when he entered.
When I looked at the men's draw, I thought, 'This draw was much better than we ever expected to get in men's tennis the week before the grand slam'. Would we like to have Federer, Agassi and Roddick here? Of course, but it is not feasible. We have been honest from the get-go they wouldn't be here, but you can't stop people from hoping.
She's as composed and graceful and confident as I've seen in any 17 year old. But it's hard to come off that big a win and keep the momentum going. It's so much easier to get there than to maintain that level of success.
It's looking not very good. I haven't received that official word. The agent thought we were holding the draw (Friday) and he didn't want to hold a wild card that could go to another player. ... A week ago Sunday they asked us to hold a wild card. Every time he won another round (in Cincinnati) it crossed my mind, but I just thought his knees must be really strong.
We have always announced players as soon as they enter. We've never sat on announcements or played games.
For tennis aficionados, last year?s final was the best tennis ever. But human nature is people want to see the top seeds get through. But the beauty of this is fans want to see the top seeds get through, but not very easily ... Our advance sales were down, a little, and I credit that to last year?s tournament not getting the top seeds through.
He's had so many matches that I don't know if the bonus challenge will change his mind. I'm not overly optimistic.
