I'm not suggesting that the entire nation can't be successful, but there's something to it when you have 150 cable channels and the Internet at your fingertips and video games and all kinds of ADD-addled devices like my iPhone and your BlackBerry and things that keep us busy.

What separates the winners from the losers is that they can deal with doing their best while still coming up short.

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.

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.
