Jim Courier
Flying has opened up new horizons for tennis.
Jim Courier
Many books have been written about what the X-factor is, what separates people who win big matches versus those who struggle. Some of it's innate, but there's a piece of it that's learned, embracing those moments.

Jim Courier
I think all of us are shaped by the choices we make.
Jim Courier
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
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
There are certainly great cities in America that don't have ATP and WTA events. Our fans are very provincial. They want American champions.
Jim Courier
The dumber you are on court, the better you're going to play.
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.
