Kev is a very analytical type of guy, so on the court I guess when that came about with Neville, there was a basis for being more demonstrative. They felt he was spending too much time analyzing things and overthinking things, and that he just needed to be more in the moment. I think Kevin would tell you that he felt it was really needed, and obviously it was very successful because it started prior to the summer last year, and if you look at his results through hard courts and the U.S. Open, it made an enormous difference.

When I came on board, and as early as Australia in January, I felt it was almost manic depressive in how he was on the court. Getting up so much after winning a point, and then really pushing himself to be getting ready for the next point, and getting pumped up and doing all this stuff, and then the other guy plays a good point, or he misses a ball, and then all the sudden it’s “awwww,” down the other way emotionally.

I think we found a balance in some really good conversations since the French, and he has a sports psychologist he works with, and so, you know, conversations with her, too. One of the things has been to substitute all the pumping and the other stuff for a much stronger presence physically in your body language and staying much more stable with that.
