I might stick to my guns and make her play more singles.

This was good to play them, win or lose. I get a chance to see what we're dealing with as far as talent goes. I'm encouraged. I'm not going to worry about them now.

Melanie played a great match. She worked hard and ran down a lot of balls. I told her that if she keeps that up, I might make her a singles player.

Josh will be a policy-oriented chief of staff. I think that will be reflected in his hiring decisions.

Josh would have a calendar up in his office, where he would, in consultation with everybody else, map out when the president would be briefed on an issue, then tie it to events on the Hill and major announcements.

In person, he holds his cards very close, even with his closest advisers. He doesn't speak up at meetings, doesn't let his views be known to other people, because he views his job as providing advice to one person, the president.
