November 1, 2005: "I loved playing singles and doubles at the junior, college, and pro levels. The doubles game needs some help, but the suggestions [reforms] made by the ATP were not the right ones, and the process that the ATP took was certainly not appropriate. The ATP, ITF, WTA and Tournaments should put more effort into promoting the doubles game. The players could help by playing with local players and holding clinics for the men, women, and kids in the cities in which they are competing. Wiith everyone working together, the skill and excitement of the game of doubles will be supported and appreciated even more by the fans."

— Stan Smith, all time great.
