    The superstition was that disability of any sort was the mark of the devil. The phrases are in languages throughout Europe: the devil's hoof, the devil's horn mark.

You will still find, particularly in Greece, people doing a little sign when they see a very badly disabled child – it needs warding off.

We had a couple glitches in the beginning with the machines. But there were no major problems. I think the only major issue was intimidation with the machines. Some people tried to make it harder than it was.

I remember last year we looked on screen and we saw we had to play Connecticut on their home court. It made you wonder if you had played them on a neutral court what would have happened. This year we play on a neutral court. It's definitely a good thing for us.
