I don't know if Wimbledon's seen anything like it. I don't know if they will again. But it was just - it was electric. The Aussie crowd, I'm really proud of them, the way they conducted themselves. You know they're great losers, as well.
Lleyton Hewitt... his two greatest strengths are his legs, his speed, his agility and his competitiveness.
Women's tennis is two sets of rubbish that lasts only half an hour.

Lady, can you speak up a little bit? Indianapolis is a little far from Europe - I can't hear you.
He'll go down as one of the guys who changed our sport in a lot of ways, not only the way he played the game, but also the way that he conducted himself on and off the court.
I'm not to eager to play tennis in my spare time. I'm more interested in doing gym work and stuff like that. We have a lot of schools and courts around where I live, so if I really want to play I don't need to go too far.

I started when I was 4, but I didn't play seriously until I was 8.
To Yossarian, the idea of pennants as prizes was absurd. No money went with them, no class privileges. Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.
