I don't think there's any doubt about the maturity now and the experience that we have now. Now it's a question of doing it and performing. Do we have the capability of going away on clay and winning Yes. Are we as much a favorite as we are at home playing on hard court No, there's no question about that. But at the same time our guys have played well on clay at times. It's certainly not our best surface. Everybody knows that. But can we go in and win a tough match on clay Sure. We can no longer use the reason, 'Hey, we're young.' We have the experience. We know what it's like to go away and play in hostile territory. Certainly we'd prefer to have all the matches at home than away. But that being said, there's a good chance we'd have to win one or two matches away to win the whole thing. We're certainly capable of doing that.
More Quotes from Patrick McEnroe:
Andy almost has too much respect for Federer. He gives up too much court to Federer, meaning he's behind the base line. I think Andy needs to play a little closer to the base line, and just play his game.Patrick McEnroe
I think that was a tough loss to take. I watched most of the match. He was up two sets to love and up 3-love in the third. I went off to an ESPN production meeting, which I'm now sorry I did. When I looked up 45 minutes later, it was two sets apiece. I couldn't figure out what happened.

I think he has a seriously big heart and showed a lot of guts to be out there and play three five-setters in a row. Talk about doing things the old-fashioned way. Robby's seeing all the hard work is paying off.

Joe always seemed to have trouble keeping a gig. Whether this was part of the reason why, I don't know, but it certainly makes you wonder.

Quite honestly, both guys like the ball up high. They like to serve and stay back and rip forehands, which they both do well. On the grass at Mission Hills, that's going to be a little trickier for them to do consistently.
Patrick McEnroe
Imagine if the guy were in really great shape. He's had wins over top five players in the world this year, but if you want to be a top 10 player, you have to be in great shape and he isn't in great shape.
