One player told me some guys don't play first-year events and then wait for the buzz about it.

On our road to five (wins), we had to have this one. We told the guys this week that we've played too hard not to get paid. I told them that it's Friday night. It's time to get paid.

The experience last year told us that to see only one player into the final round is not enough. I hope more golfers will fight to make the cut. I am not sure how many will make the cut, but I think there should be more than last year.

Everybody wanted to see it. I told the guys, I want a red one.

As a player you want to be one of those guys that's indispensable, someone you need to have on the floor at all times. He's a freshman and he's going to be a good basketball player.

I wasn't aggressive enough in the first set, so after that, I told myself to hang in there and wait for my shots. I definitely feel like I always play well in Tokyo, and I think I'm off to a good start this week. I love the court here. I like the speed. It's like grass, which is my favorite surface.
