Tennis is mostly mental. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.
A win's a win, unless it is not a win, and then it's not a win.
I began playing in the Pacific Coast Indoor Tennis Championships.
I eat whatever I like, but I play tennis and run nearly every day.
It's like playing tennis, you play a different rally with different people. Every actor is different and the chemistry between actors is different.
I have never been a fan of science fiction. For me, fiction has to explore the combinatorial possibilities of people interacting under the constraints imposed by our biology and history. When an author is free to suspend the constraints, it's tennis without a net.
The tennis wasn't really very much on my mind, so it wasn't like I was thinking about it all the time.
It's so difficult to find time besides the tennis.
I'm really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that's really important.
I felt better being in the background. That's the way I like it.
I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.
I would be really excellent in a horror film because I have a great scream. I'd be really good in a comedy too. I'm top, top, top quality.
Tennis just a game, family is forever.
You've just got to get over that mental hurdle and those battles in your own head during matches when things aren't going so well. It takes time. It's probably all things I already knew, but for someone to talk about it maybe in a different way makes you realise things.
In corporate levels, it's all about tailoring your shirt and which tennis club you belong to and which watch you are wearing and what did you shoot last week?
I enjoy tennis, though don't play very often nowadays, and skiing... oh yes and swimming.
Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.
My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.
I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down.
Tennis, imprisoned within fixed boundaries, a patch of an acre, a green rectangle, tries the human soul. A tennis court is like a coffin, only larger.
For the first couple of years I played really bad tennis. It was so bad that they booed me off the court
There are a lot of good memories, and because I was injured, during the rehab, I met my wife. The tennis was very good but the injuries were good for something too
The bad thing about the [tennis] calendar is how it is made and obligates you to play tournaments all year. If you want to achieve the most you can (and) go as high up (in the rankings) as you can, you have to play from the start to the finish because there are important tournaments from the beginning to the end.
I was passionate about soccer. I still am. Odd, though - playing soccer always made me much more anxious than playing tennis. On soccer days, I'd be out of bed by 6 in the morning, all nervous. But I was always calm when it was time for a tennis match. I still don't know why.
I'm the sort of person who keeps a lot to myself.
