Champions Keep Playing Until They Get It

Tennis Is A Perfect Combination Of Violent Action Taking Place In An Atmosphere Of Total Tranquillity.

When I Was Playing, We Didn't Have To Compete Against Everybody In The World. Now It's A Truly Global Sport, So The Competition's Much Greater, Just Like It Is For Our Children In Every Other Area, Whether It Be In Science Or Technology Or Whatever You Talk About.

I Always Listen, I Ask Children, I Even Ask Adults In Tennis, "what Are Your Children Playing?" And Most Of The Time It's Not Tennis. It's Pathetic.

I've Never Cared That Much For Cementing My Place In History. Sports Is So Transitory, So Ephemeral. It Just Seems Like So Much Nonsense Comparing Me To Helen Wills Moody Or Suzanne Lenglen Or Anybody Else From Some Other Time. One Lesson You Learn From Sports Is That Life Goes On Without You.

I Love To Promote Our Sport. I Love Grass-roots Tennis. I Love Coaching. I Love All Parts Of The Sport. I Love The Business Side.
