I saw that tweet, but can't find it on his twitter page anymore. Here is something I did find:
Boy, this fellow is immature and insecure!

Computer doesn't lie. higher ranking = better player.

Yeah like Federer is below Nadal but is still the "GOAT"? No he isn't.

I agree. BTW H2H 1-0 Young (6-3, 6-2)

Hasn't Harrison only won like 2 ATP level matches in his career?
Seems like a pretty unfair decision to me. Spadea in his book had a similar beef with P-Mac. Spadea at the time was the number 2 ranked US player ranked like 19, and P-Mac chose Fish to play a tie on clay over Spadea, despite Fish being far lower ranked.
Spadea came as a practice partner and proceeded to beat Fish in every practice match but still wasn't chosen to play

There is virtually zero chance of the 4th guy who isnt even top 100 or noteable in doubles playing anything without a true doubles specialist/tandem on the team, including even the doubles. So it doesnt really matter who the 4th guy is as far as present ability. Harrison was probably picked a he might have a future depending on how he develops, while Young clearly does not. Best to get someone who might be part of the U.S Davis Cup future some exposure.

Unfair because Donald Young loses matches on command? Donald Young seeing his potential should be aware that younger guys have a much better chance of pulling off victories than he does, regardless of age. Yeah it's a slap in the face, but so is realizing your getting older and you still haven't made it to your potential yet. Hope you're listening Donald.

Did it ever occur to Mr. Young that perhaps, PERHAPS, his refusal to leave the nest and train at a USTA facility might have had something to do with Mr. McEnroe's decision to go with Ryan Harrison instead of him? Just a thought. 
Are you saying Donald Young is already Old?
I think he's stated he likes singles players who can play doubles. He probably planned on playing Fish in dubs. When Johnny Mac put Spadea in for dubs against Spain, he was horrible.

Young has no future, he is an abject failure. Harrison is already ten times the player Young is.
Does he still have a twitter page??? AFAIK he took down the one he had had those quotes on.
Never mind.
