" I'm Brian Weber please be joined by former world number one tennis are the winner of four Grand Slam singles championships Jim Courier Jim. You're currently ranked number one on the outback champions series he's still enjoy winning as much as you did when you were number one in the world."

" More -- I think guys that never really gets out your system and they want to competitor always a competitor I love being able to play on the outback champions series play it's my peers -- that playing against guys like Pete Sampras and pat rafter and John McEnroe and Stefan Edberg and then later on this year we have a -- announce fighters know and Andre -- making his -- which will be just awesome. To have him out their children to show itself and it. -- a ton of Florida and and I I'd -- the wind certain wings are pretty sweet it's at a loss is definitely don't stink as much I think there's going to be -- that perspective which shot. Which is hard one over the years which game."

" Your governor is also the driving force behind the Champions Tour do you enjoy the challenge of the business side of you sports."

" I definitely do you know any tournaments and end a -- weeks a year about their plan. And nine and really just put dominant players happily I have another Reno and now with with the business side to try and help promote sport of tennis. We help drive some fun conditioned charities and in the markets that we plan and and really don't take tennis to different places that there won't see all time we've been in Rio de Janeiro this year we've been published and Lucas Mexico have been in the Cayman Islands. And we've been in Boston and we're the only game in town and all those cities and and that's a lot of -- To bring tennis to a place where they don't get to see up close and personally you know -- watching Wimbledon in the US open and you know everything else -- television but it's always different. To be able to bring your kids out excused and the sport of tennis -- watching something line he never quite field the pace of the power of any sport I think into DC line."

" Defending Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal is unable to defend this title because of knee trouble does that tarnish -- champion."

" Obligatory as a champion all listen I think that all the players would like to have -- often in the field it's better for tennis when you know all all your top guns there but. You know injuries are part of the business so it is part of the sport and and ruffled would be your shoes -- ago so the rest of the guys will certainly be their -- slacken I couldn't say it. There's any reason to put an asterisk behind -- whoever wins this Wimbledon look at it's gonna take seven matches to get there. If it's better which is it would seem to be favored and any able to breaks hampers his record -- he's currently tied with fourteen. A major championships to get to this fifteenth I don't think anyone's going to look back in history its failure of the by the way Nadal pulled out with a bad knee -- it's -- to."

" Roger Federer enters Wimbledon tablet. Sure he begin to the greatest player of all time."

" No it's really hard look at the numbers and and say definitively that setters the greatest of all time it -- I've categorized and is the most complete tennis player that I've ever seen. But there -- a lot of different things to make up a great champion and I think you know getting it over the line. One thing he needs to to address substantially in his career he wants to have that sort of with no question that continues to beat Nadal in Grand Slam finals because she's he's only lost 21 player. In Grand Slam finals but that's -- trailed at all these two and five career against him on seven majors and has played so well. You know that that need to be changed because I think it's hard to be hard to say definitively who the best of all time that -- two and funny that your major rival and and make funnels."

" Speaking of title he won four grand slams in your brilliant career does one stand out above the others."

" Well the first one for me than my first major at the French Open was probably the one that. That I was became changer for me a lot of different ways you know you never know you're going to be able to get over the line when you get the position to win a major and played against. The guy used to room with the voluntary tennis academy Andre Agassi he hadn't won a major either but he -- and a few different finals and counts and some strange comfort and seeing them a case of -- that I knew from childhood as opposed to a hero someone like mats wilander. Ernie on Lendl who may have been more intimidating but I woke up the next morning after when the national news it. Things are going to be different from a because there's a pretty vast chasm between that the players that when majors knows that it reached the finals -- forget of."

" Milan finally Jim you've teamed up with HSB he bag what's going on a New York City."

" Well we're we're really have an a fantastic week of tennis right in the heart of Manhattan -- Rockefeller Center we have real grass court that's been laid down in the hockey rink we have a huge screen TV it's going to be blasting Wimbledon all day all night Jennifer Capriati and are going to be out there. It -- mid day mark today hit some tennis balls with each other and and -- and fans to come out. It -- if you and and that's going to be going all week long tennis play tennis players can come out. To the heart of Manhattan bring their racquets or just issues will have brackets from print out there as well on. You know be able to play on grass right there where they should The Today Show and that'll all the great action that happens. In the heart of Manhattan we have a kids' clinic tomorrow for the city parks foundation again HSBC. Bring those kids out to let them get a taste tennis three three strawberries and cream limits itself.
