I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well.

Each point I play is in the now moment. The last point means nothing, the next point means nothing.

Some people do have softer boundaries.

I think one of the concerns, anytime you're in the human business, like sports, it's a very high - risk endeavor. You do have to get players every year. You have to deal with calendar. You have to deal with all kinds of things in our sport, like every sport does.

Sports are a microcosm of society. It just shows how much more competition there is in the world.

In the complete overall history of tennis, I figure I'll be worth a sentence or two.... That's why my place in the all-time rankings means so very little to me, because I know I won't be anybody's number one, and it's that same old thing: if you're not number one, then what does it really matter?
