While the regular season was largely completed, we had a number of teams that were on the bubble, and you know we have extraordinary competitive balance (in the NHL) and any of those teams that were on the bubble outside of the top 16 in each conference had a legitimate chance of making the playoffs, some more than others.

If there's one positive test — again, this will be under the strict guidance of the medical people — that person will be isolated, and we'll be monitoring anybody, through contact tracing, that was in close proximity.

I think Madrid Open know there might be many players that don't want to go and play there, but I think Madrid Open is not depending on only the top players playing. My personal opinion is that they are planning to have the event thinking that some of the top players — I don't know how many — might not play. – Novak Djokovic	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
The statement was about social injustice and racism, yet everybody is still talking about whether basketball should be played. He isn't saying that basketball shouldn't be. He's just saying that you should not be taking attention away from what's going on in the country to talk about basketball. Basketball is just a sport, at the end of the day. But what's going on with people dying in the streets, that's something real. That statement, it had nothing to do with sports. It had everything to do with racism and social injustice. – Charles Briscoe	Found on Reuters 4 years ago

We want those young generation players to come through and break through and win those tournaments. – Darren Cahill	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
I think it's healthier than it's ever been, you've got so many different personalities, so many different nationalities represented. So many great players, the level of the top 10 players is incredibly close but a spectacular level. – Darren Cahill	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
