The speech was called "They Said It Couldn't Be Done." It was about achieving against the odds and overcoming adversity.

How do you feel about Jimmy Connors? John McEnroe?

I used to like Arthur Ashe and Ilie Nastase. I've even watched Rod Laver and Pancho Gonzales play.

I don't like Connors or McEnroe. Ashe and Laver were good. Nastase was nuts, but a good player.

Plans are in the works to go to the Indian Wells tennis tournament. I can't believe this is actually happening! A dream come true! I hope I get to meet Denis Istomin!

The next tournament, Indian Wells, begins in two days. Even though I'm not going there this year, it will still be exciting to watch.

Rafael Nadal made the final at Acapulco. I wished he would have won, but he's doing really well.

Rafael Nadal is playing doubles. I wish he would have been paired with his Olympics partner, Marc Lopez, but it will be interesting to see him, anyway.

I'm a geek, let me rave about boring geometry and I'll be fine.
As a side note, I've begun actually constructing a mathematical rules book.

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are definitely resurgent. It's wonderful to see.
