Once the US Open is over in the States, mainstream America doesn't really follow tennis, unless you are a true tennis fan.
I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well.
Hopefully I can just have another terrible year with only the one Grand Slam and that will be just fine.
Our biggest events are the Grand Slams and are always going to be the Grand Slams.
I feel lucky to keep playing tennis, being healthy all those years, to compete in one of the most beautiful events of the year, without a doubt.
Tennis is not a contract sport and we really rely on the WTA and ATP tours to be up and running so players can earn prize money to make a living.
When your four biggest tournaments all operate relatively independently, and the ATP and WTA tour operate independently, and you have Davis Cup and Fed Cup that operate independently, it makes it a tough message.
I think tennis needs to be reinvented. I think there is a space for two different tours. This exists in many other sports.
