For me, losing a tennis match isn't failure, it's research.

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.

You want people to feel like they belong to something. And not be elitist. You don't want us to be elitist.

In 1973, a woman could not get a credit card without her husband or father or a male signing off on it.

Champions take responsibility.

I try to perfect my strong points and make my weaknesses adequate.

In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports.
