I would just never out anybody. I think everyone has to find it in their own way and their own time.

Bobby Riggs was one of my heroes. I admired him. That's one of the reasons I beat him - because I respected him.

It's about learning your craft. That's a wonderful thing--especially with today's consumerism and instant gratification. You can'tbuy that. It's about making decisions, corrections, choices. I don't think it's so much about becoming a tennis player. It's about becoming a person.

The main thing is not a matter of wanting to win; the main thing is being scared to lose.

Being Number One isn't everything to me, but for those few hours on the court it's way ahead of whatever's in second place.

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

Don't be afraid to hit the ball.
