“The only thing I had on my mind was tennis, and sometimes girls,”
Boris Becker
“The only thing I had on my mind was tennis, and sometimes girls, ... My life was all about tennis. My office was the whole world. The word home didn't really exist.”
“I was very, very shy as a younger girl, just petrified of people. Tennis helped give me an identity and made me feel like somebody.”
Chris Evert
“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
“Our girls played fearless tennis. If we can beat the No. 1 team (in league), then we should be able to compete well in the second go-round with these teams. It certainly is encouraging to us.”
Karen Roth
“In China, tennis is on an upward trend. We had a lot of girls in the tournament here this year and Chinese tennis has very bright future prospects.”
Sun Tiantian
“I feel like I'm playing some of my best tennis. It's unfortunate that all the other girls are playing so much better. This is the highest level we've ever competed at.”
Lindsay Davenport
