[Finally Arthur Ashe put proverb

 [Finally, Arthur Ashe put down his tennis racket and walked off the tennis court. He said,] I've had enough. I'm at the point where I'm afraid I'll lose control. ... I don't care. I'd rather lose that than my self-respect.
  Arthur Ashe

 Arthur Ashe Kids' Day was developed in 1997 to honor the legacy of Arthur Ashe. The idea is to bring the top names in tennis together with top names in pop music for a great day of fun to set the stage for two weeks of U.S. Open excitement.

 When the Williams sisters came into tennis, there was so much rampant racism that it was unbelievable. When Arthur Ashe was playing the good game of tennis, he had to contend with nonsense. When Tiger Woods hit the professional golf ranks, he had dumb people talking about fried-chicken dinners and sitting watermelons out on the golf course.

 Originally, we were going to lose tennis but we're one of two schools with tennis courts. So we may end up with tennis and give up something else.

 A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others.

 I'm definitely flattered and humbled any time I can put my name in the same sentence with Arthur Ashe. That's something that is always an accomplishment to me. He's a role model for more than just tennis players, I think.

 They are not tennis players. They came from soccer. Those (are) No. 3, 4 and 5 spots, so I really don't have that classic (tennis team). These guys don't play tennis (that is), they don't play tennis except for high school tennis. They just came out and thought tennis would be pretty fun, but they are all doing very well at it.

 There will be some great tennis matches in this tournament. Anyone who enjoys hard-fought tennis matches with talented players will see great tennis. We will take it one point, one game, one set and one match at a time and leave our best play on the court.

 I really think it is going to in the long run make me a better player giving you the perspective of being out on the court knowing that it's not the end of the world if you lose and that gives you the opportunity to go after your shots a little more, ... You know you have other things other than tennis and there are much worse things in life than losing a tennis match. So it will give me a better perspective, a little more calm on the court. Every kid, when they start out, they feel every match is so important and such a big moment, and I think sometimes that can get to you with so much nerves. Now I don't feel that nearly as much.

 To me, Federer is the best player that ever hit a tennis ball on a tennis court. But he can get better. He has this whole thing about raising the bar. They're not just words. Just as the Williams sisters raised it for women's tennis, he has raised it for the men's game. But there will be a response and he knows that.

 It was exactly the same as in Bangkok -- 7-5 in the third, losing my serve at 5-all. I was down a break in the second set and came out with nothing to lose, just trying to put the ball in the court and play good tennis.

 Jose has a fun and lively personality and he's always able to keep things light in serious situations. Plus he's a great competitor. Ivan has stepped up this year and is playing great tennis right now. It will be hard to lose them, but I am excited these guys are playing their best tennis right now.

 This unique racquet is symbolic of professional tennis' return to Las Vegas. It represents both the excitement and sizzle of the city and the great tennis fans will see at The Tennis Channel Open presented by Panasonic, the newest gem on the professional tennis circuit.

 Acting with Denzel is like playing tennis with someone that's better than you. You either play better tennis or get blown off the court.

 I'm looking forward to being able to come to Miami and help my friend and Chicago co-star Robin Givens raise money for the Greater Miami Tennis Foundation. I can't guarantee that my tennis talent equals up to my savvy dancing, but I'm certainly going to try and put my best foot forward on the tennis court and enjoying myself at Robin's dinner.

 It's a fine line between genius and insanity. John is the best player who ever walked on a tennis court. He also always walked that line. Sometimes he goes over it.
