20 Quotes by Jonas Bjorkman

We used to have strong representatives like Todd Martin on the player council, ... But now a lot of the players are stepping back, they say (the ATP Council/Board system) is not working anymore.

We need to be a little more like a (player's) union.

I am excited about the new guy de Villiers, ... We need a new direction...we are worldwide very well known. It shouldn't be so difficult.

We played really badly and did not perform as we expected. The heat did not bother us.

We know our games well after playing against and together, so it is not going to be any surprises for any of us going into that (doubles) match. They (Paes and Bhupathi) would be the big favourite to win.

We were in trouble in the second set quite often. We managed to come back after they served for the set and had a set point. We never got to the point where we were feeling we were going to lose. We were always keen to win and had a good fight back.

What we've been talking with the ATP hasn't reached the tournament directors, ... I spoke to (Cincinnati Tournament Director) Bruce Flory and he hadn't heard of some of the things.

(The players) have been having quite a lot of meetings,

The tournament directors have a lot of ideas, and the players have a lot of ideas, ... Unfortunately not every tournament director is willing to listen...and we probably don't have the right people in position (at the ATP). We need some fresh people in there, some new business people in there.
