It was very efficient; very effective. The peace of mind it gives players is incredible - just knowing you're not going to lose a point because of a bad line call.
We want to be clear to the fans that the players take this very seriously and will be competing hard in every match. With the prize money and ranking points in every event there will be no doubt that these are tournaments, not exhibitions.
The writing's been on the wall. Tennis takes us all over the world. People aspire to be the players they see on TV, and that's where dreams come from.
I knew I was the second-best tennis player in the state of Florida and No. 8 in the United States of America when I was 12 years old and I couldn't tell you what I was in baseball, but I liked my chances in tennis of getting a scholarship to college.
The reason I didn't take the baseball route is because they don't have rankings for baseball players.
I'm a big proponent of Hawk-Eye. I think it's a wonderful addition, not only for the players, but more importantly for the fans.
If they had rankings in baseball, maybe I would have been able to do the math and figure out my chances of being a professional baseball player versus a tennis player. But that was the decision-maker for me, I just thought I was better in tennis.
I really try not to read the tennis articles, because a lot of times they're guessing at how a player is feeling, and I like to keep myself kind of open minded about how I'm feeling, rather than have someone else explain to me what's going on.
