Tennis is a game of angles. You never have time to figure the angles. It's practiced. It's so practiced that it becomes an instinct. You just know where to put the ball. You just feel it. It has been computed into your brain so many times ­ it is there.

I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.

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.

Don't be afraid to hit the ball.

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

I used to be told if I talked about my sexuality in any way that we wouldn't have a tennis tour.

Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.
