For tennis aficionados, last years final was the best tennis ever. But human nature is people want to see the top seeds get through. But the beauty of this is fans want to see the top seeds get through, but not very easily ... Our advance sales were down, a little, and I credit that to last years tournament not getting the top seeds through.

It's looking not very good. I haven't received that official word. The agent thought we were holding the draw (Friday) and he didn't want to hold a wild card that could go to another player. ... A week ago Sunday they asked us to hold a wild card. Every time he won another round (in Cincinnati) it crossed my mind, but I just thought his knees must be really strong.

In terms of quantity and quality, it is the strongest list of early entries the Pilot Pen has ever had on the women's side. I think that instead of being a last-minute decision about playing the week before the U.S. Open, the players who have played the Pilot Pen previously have learned that it really works for them, and therefore they work it into their schedule far in advance of the U.S. Open.

I am completely focused on accepting the things I can not change, and I can not change the weather and player injuries. But when we have the luxury and privilege of having a combined mens and womens tournament for the first time, and we have a Connecticut native who is on his way back up after some struggles, who brings a group of fans who give this stadium an almost-Davis Cup feel, I feel lucky. I feel grateful.
