I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.

I wanted always to appear strong and in control . . . .Then the cookie began to crumble.

To be a tennis champion, you have to be inflexible. You have to be stubborn. You have to be arrogant. You have to be selfish and self-absorbed. Kind of tunnel vision almost.

Not every child is cut out for an individual sport.

Whatever your goal in life, be proud of every day that you are able to work in that direction.

Of all my achievements in tennis, I'm probably as proud of my record on clay courts as any of my Wimbledon, U.S. Open or French singles titles.

After being at the top, I don't think I could play senior tournaments, because you know how good you were. I don't know if I would enjoy that, being half of what I was.
