Thompson on Burgess: “Akil has worked diligently on his game. He has
improved some of the areas that were costing him in the past and I feel
he has the potential to do more for us this year. His serve is still
one of the most difficult to return and I feel he has improved his
doubles skills. This could be a very good year for Akil.
