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

Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can.

The best way to judge a life is to ask yourself, "Did I make the best use of the time I had?

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

I have always drawn strength from being close to home.

I have always tried to be true to myself, to pick those battles I felt were important. My ultimate responsibility is to myself. I could never be anything else.

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