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.

There's no evidence that says that the money a federation has translates into success. I hope that that will change.
Jim Courier
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.
Jim Courier
You need to make sure everyone is healthy first and foremost.

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
There's a reason why Federer and Nadal are so gracious when they lose. They sleep well at night knowing that they've given their best.
Jim Courier
What I like about the USTA is that it's developing systems to help the coaches coach better.
Jim Courier
It's a simple question of supply and demand. But all of us are grossly overpaid. I think it's a ridiculous dispute.
Jim Courier
America is the world's policemen, whether you and I like that or not. That's a fact. People globally feel that.
Jim Courier
Without a doubt, there's huge satisfaction when a relatively smaller nation can take on a bigger nation and defeat them. There's a lot of pride in that.
Jim Courier
Focusing on one thing can be tough, and people with fewer options are more apt to concentrate on what they're doing. There's probably something to hunger.
