Jay Lapidus Quotations

We're just trying to get sharper, play some matches, and continue to work on our conditioning. The results will come.

Historically we have done well at this tournament. The first couple of matches are at home, which gives a little of an edge.

Joey didn't have his best match. He'll be fine.

Joey did a good job of fighting. He did a good job of being aggressive. We have a lot of confidence in him and he came through for us today.

We were up 5-3 and lost, and it's rare that (Walter) loses a set 6-3.

We're trying to stay mentally focused at the beginning of singles. We need to put an exclamation point on the doubles, and we did a better job of that today.

As I told the guys, I don't think I've ever been a part of a match where we were down 3-0 and came back and won 4-3. I can't remember one.

They just played really well today. They were down, came back, and my hat is off to them.

In a match of this magnitude with two top teams, there's going to be some fire. Brian is a fiery guy, and I'm a fiery guy. We're friends, but sometimes things get a little heated. But it was all in competition.

I really thought we were in good shape there. P-Rod didn't feel that great on the court, but I still thought he was going to win. I just expected it because he's had such a great year.
