You end up getting into what tennis is — it'll be one winner, or two winners, the same three guys all year.

Tennis Australia wishes to pay tribute to Paul for his efforts over the past 12 years which have established the Australian Open as one of the world's marquee sporting events. His creativity and energy helped elevate the Australian Open to be on a par with the other three Grand Slams and set a benchmark for major sporting events in Australia and around the world.

It is hard for Jack not to believe that there is a laser bulls-eye on his forehead.
