I will do everything in my power to make sure people are aware that our team is out there fighting the good fight for the tennis fans of the United States.

You can kick a ball into the net, throw a basketball into the net. Tennis is complicated. It'll make a lot of great athletes run the other way because they can't be successful initially.
Jim Courier

There are things we can't control - like the wins and the losses.
Jim Courier
Image
Trophies separate the winners from losers, and life is about winning and losing. Go into business and you see. You're competing every day.

Even the poor can be fat in the U.S.
Jim Courier
Image
In America, we love to give people second chances too - as long as you admit you were wrong and come back and do it the right way.

Fear is an interesting energy that we all have to face. Some people step up and aren't afraid but still come up short. And some would rather cop out: My shoulder hurts or I didn't give it my all. They can sleep at night.

Image
People handle stress in different ways.
Jim Courier
Image
Hell be lucky to last five or six years on those knees. What it might have to come down to is playing less on hard surfaces and playing more on forgiving surfaces.
Jim Courier
Image
There's no evidence that says that the money a federation has translates into success. I hope that that will change.
Jim Courier
Image
It's hard for anyone in the 24-hour news cycles that we all live in now to follow something that the first round is played in March and the final finishes in December. I understand the challenges there.
Jim Courier
Image
It's really easy to find your friends when you're playing away. You have a close-knit group with you and everyone else is cheering hard for their side. There's more satisfaction coming away with a road victory.
Jim Courier
Image
One of Nadal’s strengths is that he’s so humble, that he’s surprised at what he has achieved, and that he has never bought into his greatness.
Jim Courier
Image
We lose a lot of young athletes because tennis is such a difficult sport. It's not like kicking a soccer ball.
Jim Courier
Image
What I've seen historically is winning is a major aloe. It solves a lot of problems.
Jim Courier
Image
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.
