James was patient today. He usually tries to fire instead of using his speed, ... Today he made me earn my points. We both know that once you get between the lines you have to put your friendship on the backburner.

We all pick each other up. I've picked up James before and today he picked me up. That's' why it's called a team.

I think I would have beaten most people today but credit where it's due, he played a very good match. The shots he was able to come up with were very good. I was surprised that he was able to lean in and hit some of the backhands. ... I haven't seen that before.

U.S. stocks are struggling again today, and that has just added more fuel to the fire. We need a fix to see that things are coming under control.

With the winds we have today (30-35 mph in Boulder County), you could have fires that could outrace fire trucks trying to chase it. You could have fires that move so fast, you can't get out of the way on time. You could start not just losing a home, but home after home after home.

Luckily, I had some great serves when I needed to.
