He was the best ordtak

en He was the best player in tennis for more than 10 years, and a lot of people don't realize that because he missed all those years at Wimbledon.

en I feel like I missed Wimbledon two years in a row, and I feel I've missed the French two years in a row, ... I was out on the court in Paris and I literally couldn't move. Everything was hurting me...to sit down, it was hurting me to stand, it was hurting me to walk. And it was just helpless. I don't like that feeling.

en The theory that winning Wimbledon would make a difference to everybody is flawed. Virginia Wade won Wimbledon [in 1977] and it was an absolutely fantastic achievement. But it made no difference to tennis in this country whatsoever. Did we see an onset of tennis clubs after that? Did we see a whole bunch of kids playing after that? Did we see a revolution in the sport in this country? No. We still have to deal with these issues.

en In 10-15 years there will be a little drop-off for us. It's high tide right now, ... One day there will be another tennis player that excites people -- you can't be No. 1 forever.

en A lot of those years we didn't play well. But when you have a young team you don't have depth. If you have injuries, you're kind of [done for]. It was a grind. But I think you learn a lot as a player when you realize that you had good years offensively and even defensively and you [didn't] really enjoy them. You realize that [personal success] is not really important. It was frustrating. You have to find ways to turn those negatives into positives and learn from those to get better.

en In one way yes, in other ways, no. Yes, because it was only three years and I did well. Still, it's only three years. So many years have passed. I would have thought it would have been broken by now. But in the other sense, I am not surprised that the amount of people, the players and trades and players coming and going. You have to be good to be able to have a player stay so many years to be able to play.

en We are closer every time we step on the field than we were two years ago, I don't think there is any question about that. I don't think we played particularly well last year. I think we could have played a whole lot better. We missed out on a whole lot of opportunities. But we are close and I think people realize that.

en Her goal is to be a champion tennis player. She's a former No. 1 junior player in the world. She continues at age 21 to grow on the WTA tennis tournament. She's 100 percent committed to her tennis. That is her first priority.

en I play basketball, I play football, I play tennis. I'm 41 years old. People always throw that in my face. But people older than me are still having good years. I want to keep on playing until I have nothing left.

en For me it's another match against the world number one? He's the best sportsman in the world today. But he's also a normal person and that's not easy when you're the best tennis player in the world. I send him messages (of congratulations) when he wins in Wimbledon and other places.

en This is big-time football. I don't the people in this community realize how big this is. They don't realize the level of football we're dealing with. They don't realize the pressure of the decision for these kids. This is about the next four years of their life.

en Right now, this is definitely the final tour and the final album. We have made a decision, ... And, maybe, we might wake up 10 years from now and we might want to do an album. Or we might wake up three years or five years from now and say, 'Y'all feel like doing another album?' What people don't realize is that we are still only 24 or 25 years old.

en A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance. I'm proud of all I have achieved in this sport. It has been many years of sacrifice in which I have had tough moments. But those you forget, and the ones that remain are the ones that have filled you as a tennis player and as a human being.

en I think she has handled everything that has come her way really well since winning Wimbledon. I mean, she's still very young and is a very great player. Other players handle things differently. I'm one who can't handle anything but playing tennis and trying to be married. But other players have the ability to encompass a lot more.

en Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.
