We had some very good options out there. My position was based on talking to my players, and taking a roll call of what they wanted and what I thought was best for our team.
More Quotes from Patrick McEnroe:
I don't think there's any doubt about the maturity now and the experience that we have now. Now it's a question of doing it and performing. Do we have the capability of going away on clay and winning Yes. Are we as much a favorite as we are at home playing on hard court No, there's no question about that. But at the same time our guys have played well on clay at times. It's certainly not our best surface. Everybody knows that. But can we go in and win a tough match on clay Sure. We can no longer use the reason, 'Hey, we're young.' We have the experience. We know what it's like to go away and play in hostile territory. Certainly we'd prefer to have all the matches at home than away. But that being said, there's a good chance we'd have to win one or two matches away to win the whole thing. We're certainly capable of doing that.Patrick McEnroe
I can watch them play and I feel very confident in the way they play, and I couldn't say that four months ago about either one of them, ... Robby now is playing much more disciplined, much smarter, not going for as many winners, they are both using their speed much better, using their defense better. Robby's biggest thing on clay has been his movement, and pulling the trigger too early. Now that he's playing within himself he should be a very good claycourt player.

His demeanor changed a lot ... and what happened off the court had a huge impact on that. It gave him a perspective of, 'Look, things are going to go wrong at times.' ... He's playing with much more of a calmness about him.

I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize.
