We'd love to see them go back up, I just don't see that happening.

We want the Buick Championship to be successful and they need those banners for their promotion just like we need our banners for our promotion.

It was the novelty using this building to promote one of the regions greatest assets.

It's looking not very good. I haven't received that official word. The agent thought we were holding the draw (Friday) and he didn't want to hold a wild card that could go to another player. ... A week ago Sunday they asked us to hold a wild card. Every time he won another round (in Cincinnati) it crossed my mind, but I just thought his knees must be really strong.

I've watched him play at Roland Garros and watched people dance in the streets when he won. For me, personally, he is a bit of a legend. I was definitely thrilled when he entered.

When I looked at the men's draw, I thought, 'This draw was much better than we ever expected to get in men's tennis the week before the grand slam'. Would we like to have Federer, Agassi and Roddick here? Of course, but it is not feasible. We have been honest from the get-go they wouldn't be here, but you can't stop people from hoping.
