After 20 years, it's emotional. Andre and the tournament are so interconnected. He helped keep the sport going when we had kind of peaks and valleys. When Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe left, up popped Andre and Pete Sampras. -Butch Buchholz

We're the guinea pig, which we're happy to do. I've got to believe the players are going to love this. You'd like to have a situation where you're not going to lose a tennis match because of a bad call.

Andre and the tournament are so interconnected. So it's emotional. It's emotional for him, and the tournament will miss him. It's sad for the sport, not just us.

We're a little bit of a guinea pig, but I think that's great. The sport has been hurt by the fact there are so many factions. We're all pitching in together. It's a great day for tennis.

I truly believe it's here to stay. I'm proud we were the guinea pig.
