Just by being out you`re doing your part. It`s like recycling. You`re doing your part for the environment if you recycle; you`re doing your part for the gay movement if you`re out.
Martina Navratilova
If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that`s a big accomplishment... quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there`s going to be a life after tennis that`s a lot longer than your tennis life.
Chris Evert
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
Arthur Ashe
Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.
Arthur Ashe
There are a lot of pretty girls. I am a tennis player first of all, that is why I am here, and if wasn`t producing results no one would notice me.
Anna Kournikova
You don`t think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of No.12, do you? Anyway, as I keep telling everyone, you can`t blame me for looking like this on purpose.
Anna Kournikova
I could lose 20 pounds and I`m still going to have these knockers and I`m going to have this ass, and that`s just the way it is. addressing her fitness level after winning the 2007 Australian Open
Serena Williams
Of course, because another three Slam titles will bring a lot more than $25 million, they would be worth even more [than $100 million]. (On whether she would give up her millions for more slam titles)
Maria Sharapova
You will never have great tennis champions from England because of the cold and dark, but most of all because people only care about the sport for two weeks a year, and then they`re on to something else. There`s just not a great love of the sport there.
Monica Seles
You know, I`m confident before I go out and play a match that I know, you know, I`ve put in the work and like I feel confident that I am going to go out there and play well.
Jennifer Capriati
You know, I definitely am taking home some really nice memories, especially from the match against Serena. It was something very special for me.
Daniela Hantuchova
You have to remember that I played longer than anybody else on the main tour; I played until I was 40, and then played another six years or so on the seniors tour.
Jimmy Connors
You don`t think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of No.12, do you? Anyway, as I keep telling everyone, you can`t blame me for looking like this on purpose.
Anna Kournikova
You do it for the highs, when you`re totally engrossed and everything`s flowing and whatever you want, you get. It`s like magic. That`s why you play the game. That`s what it`s for. That`s why you work.
Gregory (Greg) Rusedski
Tennis has given me soul.
