24 Quotes by Roland Thornqvist

Without a doubt, if you want to win an NCAA title, you have to play good doubles. At times this year, we have been good in doubles, other times we haven't. We have to be more consistent.

You'd like to hit that stride at the end of the season. Now is a good time to play good tennis, because now is when it really matters.

We beat a very good Vanderbilt team even though we didn't play great (on Friday) at some spots, but everyone did a good job of fighting. We didn't come out ready to play in doubles, but as a team we really make playing here a true home-court advantage.

The experience really showed how much tennis meant to her. It could have been easy to do nothing, but she didn't.

I'm happy where we are because we're getting better every day. We've been talking about playing with more passion and more fight and that paid off for us in tonight's match.

Practice is fun, but it's more exciting to play. You can drill and practice until you turn blue, but it's not going to be the same as laying it on the line when there's something there that matters.

This is about as good as I've seen us this season. And it's coming at the right time.
