Billy Chadwick Quotes (7 Quotes)

It was tough, but with what you find out there with all the teams is they're very even. I think if you played the tournament 10 times, you might have six or seven different winners.

You have the elements of the wind and the sun and somehow not having a defined closed area effects it more than anything else. It is different playing in and out.

We played a good match. We had to fight back in doubles. We did a good job of sticking to our game plan and not getting rattled. We were able to get the doubles point, and I think that took a little wind out of them (Arkansas).

We were competitive at every position, especially at Nos. 1 and 4, and Pablo played his best match of the season.

Troy gave us a real battle last year. It's going to be our first match outside. I expect it to be a challenge for us because, one, its going to be our first match outside. Also, it's a very good team, a team that has been playing outside basically all winter long.

We have a lot of respect for Florida. They are one of the top teams in the country. In fact, they were ranked No. 1 in the country going into the tournament. It really gives the guys a lot of confidence, and it really raises the bar as far as expectations.

It was a great battle, they just played too well down the stretch. You could see why they are No. 1 in the country. They're a great team. When we got the doubles point by no means did we think we had them. We knew that we were at least in the match.
