Attention Quotes
We were both concerned about that. That was the single number one thing we talked about yesterday. We didn't talk about the Nadal match at all.

Advantage Quotes
Madison and Natalie played (Pickerington Central's girls twice during the regular season in singles. They won both, so we had a mental advantage over them. UA was the bigger match. I wasn't even worried about the finals. The UA match is the one we wanted because anytime you can beat UA, it's big.

Contact Quotes

Behind Quotes
She got off to a little bit of a slow start (in the finals) but it's a little bit nerve-wracking when you think everybody is saying you're the favorite and you're supposed to win. That's a lot of pressure. But as the match went on, that's the best I've seen her play. She wasn't missing anything. And she had her team behind her.

Accepted Quotes
She accepted the travel and living in hotels for 11 months, ... With a child, she could have said she wanted to be home, and that would have been difficult. After a match it's 10 p.m., and then you have dinner until 12 - all the inconveniences of a pro athlete. Tennis was my first priority, and she accepted it. She gave advice and supported me.

Ability Quotes
One of our concerns has been, and probably always will be - unless you have a (Tim) Duncan or a Shaq (O'Neal) - having enough depth at the center position with enough flexibility so you can match up with all the different teams, because teams give you different looks, ... That was a strength last year, and it will be another strength for us this year. We have the strength with Vitaly, versatility and talent with a guy like Nick Collison, a low-post game. You have some length now and running ability in Mikki and some youth in Petro and Robert and some toughness and bulk in Danny.

Forward Quotes

Change Quotes
More than anything, we are trying to focus on ourselves. We've had two tough losses this past week and our guys have got to show what they are made of in this next match.
