Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women’s ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men’s tennis.
It’s your birthday today, so what would you say, if we turned that frown upside down.
Each point I play is in the now moment. The last point means nothing, the next point means nothing.

Everyone has people in their lives that are gay, lesbian or transgender or bisexual. They may not want to admit it, but I guarantee they know somebody.
I like putting money back into what made my life, and tennis has been great to me.
I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.

I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.
