Yesterday I was on the court with Roger Federer, so I can bring something like that or a conversation I had with him to this clinic. I communicate that to players here in Montana and then they're a little bit closer to the top of the game and what big time players are thinking about what it takes to become a better tennis player.

Cardio tennis is great. It is great for the sport but, most important, it is great for the player. It is fun, players can get fit and they can improve their game too.

These weren't unforced errors; these were pure winners, ... This was artistic play. You had to think tactics out there. You had to have guts out there.

I've always known how talented James Blake is. It's not that his game is different. It's his demeanor.

Oh, the bald look? A lot of questions why, and I have a bunch of fun stories to give people. The big thing is I was losing a battle with my hairline. You know, I was in that between thing, and chemicals weren't working. I figured if (Andre) Agassi can do it, I can do it.

It's fun to give kids high fives. Dads can tell their kids, 'That's Luke Jensen, he serves with both hands.' My dad used to talk to me about Rod Laver and Pancho Segura. The beauty of sports is that it crosses all generations and genders.

I always find that what's unique to my clinics is the credentials I bring to the table.

He's an outstanding player. I'm just happy to be in Hawaii. I'm lucky I get paid to play tennis and show these kids how much fun it is. This used to be a conservative game, now we have music, rock 'n' roll tennis.
