I've lost more than I've won but I always went out onto court feeling I could win, i don't know if I'd enjoy going out on court against them knowing I'm going to lose or feeling like I had no chance. That would probably be psychologically challenging... I need to be patient and not expect too much too soon. – Briton Murray	Found on Reuters 5 years ago

We have entered Briana Williams in the 100m and the 4x100 relay, subject of course to clearance, jonielle Smith is the reserve for the 100m and is a part of the 4x100 relay pool. – Lincoln Eatmon	Found on Reuters 5 years ago

My plan was to run in these two meets and then go to world championships but I had to all of a sudden, at the drop of a dime, switch up my schedule. – Christian Coleman	Found on Reuters 5 years ago
I'm really looking forward to be going back to Shanghai, a tournament I have had success at in the past – the last time I was there was in 2016, thanks to the tournament for a wildcard, it's great to be able to continue my comeback and play more tennis in China. – Andy Murray	Found on Reuters 5 years ago
