The world over - 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?'

I don't want to be remembered for my tennis accomplishments.

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

There is a syndrome in sports called 'paralysis by analysis.'

It doesn't have to glitter to be gold.

Wherever I am when you feel sick at heart and weary of life, or when you stumble and fall and don’t know if you can get up again, think of me. I will be watching and smiling and cheering you on.

Life is like a tennis game. You can't win without serving.
