America is the world's policemen, whether you and I like that or not. That's a fact. People globally feel that.

Jim Courier
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.
Jim Courier
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
Even the poor can be fat in the U.S.
Jim Courier
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
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.
Jim Courier
