He's pushing the envelope, ... All these guys when they turn 30 can say, 'I can work hard and still make it happen.' .

It's not like football where the officials take two or three minutes to review the call. The umpire sees it in 10 seconds, so it doesn't disrupt play at all.

I'm all for a change. There's a lot of coaching that goes on now. I'm not sure I want the coach on the court the whole match, but why not let the player talk to the coach between sets? It gives TV people something to talk about, and it adds to the experience for fans and viewers.

Tiger would probably be a lot like Roger if all the golf tournaments were match play. Tiger is phenomenal, but he can't stop somebody from doing something. Besides the guys hoping that Federer loses, he's always got the opportunity to stop the other guy.

Twenty years ago, you'd see guys busting rackets in locker rooms. Today they do it in their hotel rooms.

The biggest disappointment of the first round was the four teenagers, who won only one set among them. I could see Murray losing to Juan Ignacio Chela but maybe in five sets, four sets, a brutal match.

I think he's really putting all his eggs in one basket and getting ready for the Open.

I don't know anybody who could take nine weeks off and then — boom — come back and win a tournament.
