If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment.

In tennis, at the end of the day you're a winner or a loser. You know exactly where you stand... I don't need that anymore. I don't need my happiness, my well-being, to be based on winning and losing.

A champion hates to lose even more than she loves to win.

Competitive toughness is an acquired skill and not an inherited gift.

I still have this image: I can't be controversial, I can't say things.

I can definitely say the same thing [discussing Steffi Graf's claim that she had played against at least one top player who used steroids]. Steroids can really make a difference, physically and mentally. I'd be really disappointed if I had been ranked No. 2 behind someone who took steroids.
