When a child signs up for tennis, he or she is put on a team. I put them in a circle and then I make sure they name their own team. I would have them do their skill drills as a team and their fun drills together as a team, then they have to have a match at the end of every week. They can't just have what they call a lesson today every week.

The most important words that have helped me in life, when things have gone right or when things have gone wrong are 'accept responsibility.'

Pressure is a privilege - it only comes to those who earn it.

I knew after my first lesson what I wanted to do with my life.

I always liked co-ed events best so we have two men and two women on each team.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn't allowed in a photo because I wasn't wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.
