It?s because I?m in America, ... It?s enough for me that Russian people know me. French people also know me. In America, I need to do something good, like play great in a Grand Slam or prove (himself) in a tournament like this on TV. Tennis is not important in America like it is in Europe.

Each of the satellites in the solar system are pummeled by interplanetary dust particles, or meteoroids which are marble-sized or millimeter-sized objects, ... When those hit a satellite, or moon, at high speeds, they slam into the surface and blast a crater, and all sorts of particles fly off. That's what is happening at Ganymede, and we think that's what's happening at all the satellites in the solar system.

This is like acquiring a major free agent. This is a grand slam home run for us as far as the development of our international program.

It immediately gives our efforts credibility and in my eyes it assures that the Devil Rays will be a force in international scouting and player development in years to come.

It's not a mission of mine to end the year No.1. I know if I win everything I have a very good chance, but I just want to focus on the matches I have to win and the tournaments that I'm committed to for the remainder of this year. Of course I'd take another Grand Slam title over the No.1 ranking any day, but I am proud of the fact that I'll probably finish another season at least in the Top Three. That's no mean feat.

I have talked to him about his whole preparation about when he was going into the Slam Dunk Contest. He just said he practiced a couple of days before the event and then every day leading up to it and that is what I did. I have been practicing for two weeks just to get my routine down. I am just going to go in there and not shy away from it.

I had a walk-off grand slam in high school against Royal, but it is definitely a little bit more special to do it in college. I just needed a base hit to win the game, but obviously a home run is a little more dramatic.

I had a grand slam against him. Maybe I'll pinch-hit against him, maybe in the 18th?

He's pretty slick about it. He has been on some championship teams, so he knows it's coming. Bottom line, the talk of why it didn't happen is getting more exposure than if they did slam it with the drink.

I don't really remember a loss where I felt this bad afterward. I've never felt better going into a Slam than I did here. This has totally blindsided me.

I am very young, and he is an unbelievable player, one of the best in history and the best player now by far. If you look at the rankings, if you look at the points, if you look at the Grand Slam titles, we don't have competition. And also the most important factor is that he is better than me.

I don't want to take anything away from Martins Ferry because they did a real good job. We just didn't slam the door shut when we had some chances, but a coach once told me that a win's a win.

I don't think this is a slam dunk, but I think the expectations had gotten a little out of control. Sports scores and emails are a great way to start, but don't expect this thing to be the end-all. Expect it to evolve. Realize that we are in the first inning of a nine-inning game.

He's got an unbelievable backhand. You can't read it, ... You don't know if he's going up the line or he holds it to go cross-court. He's very talented. He's going to definitely be up there in contention for Grand Slam titles. It was such a tough match. I know that his arm was bothering him. I don't know how bad that was hurting.

The kids would run around wild and slam the gate and stuff. The mother, I don't think she knows what discipline is really, she never yelled at her kids. Or if she did it was usually very derogatory words that I'm sure our whole neighborhood could hear.

If you try to hit a grand slam, you’re going to strike out.

Age is nothing, can still win the Grand Slam, pretty happy about my age, more experience.

Hopefully I can just have another terrible year with only the one Grand Slam and that will be just fine.
