We are thrilled that Martina is coming back. Her comeback has been impressive. She is quickly returning to her past form as the number one player in the world.

If anything, I think that showed the value of this event, ... Sometimes you take things for granted. But what Shanghai did was show everyone, us included, just what a valuable franchise this event really is.

Doubles today is virtually worthless.

This was the most important step of all. A lot of issues had to be resolved. It was a matter of time but we had to find the right formula that would work for everyone.

I can tell you that I've had maybe one of the toughest years I've ever had in my life, just the anxiety of not being able to know whether we're going to be able to keep this event here.
