You really are never playing an opponent. You are playing yourself.

I don't care who you are, you're going to choke in certain matches. You get to a point where your legs don't move and you can't take a deep breath. You start to hit the ball about a yard wide, instead of inches.

Always have the situation under control, even if losing. Never betray an inward sense of defeat.

Do not feel sorry for me if I am gone.

A wise person decides slowly but abides by these decisions.

Martina's like the old Green Bay Packers. You know exactly what she's going to do, but there isn't a thing you can do about it.

I have become convinced that we blacks spend too much time on the playing field and too little time in libraries.
