When I play, I become entirely absorbed in the game. It may be a form of concentration.

I can remember when, as a beginner, I was delighted with any ball as long as it would bounce.

I love the feel of hitting the ball hard, the pleasure of a rally. It is these things that make tennis the delightful game that it is.

The 1927 Wimbledon finals were almost put off because of the rain, which threatened every moment.

There is no game like the direct attack. Fancy strokes, while effective to watch, do not bring the results a fast driving game does.

If you see a tennis player who looks as if he is working hard, that means he isn't very good.

Concerning the limits and limitations of the women's game - why should we believe there are any?
