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

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.

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

Unless a player goes in for intensive play and tournament competition, two racquets are sufficient.

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

Spectators often express disfavor of fair decisions.

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