Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible.

I like any title with the letters U.S. in front of it. To me, the U.S. Open is the most important tournament in the world.

But why should I read what somebody else thinks of my life when I know the real story?

I am not looking to be understood or liked. Like me or not, I don't care. I am an outsider, that is the way I was brought up.

I don't go out there to love my enemy. I go out there to squash him.

It was okay for Wayne Gretzky's dad, for instance, to give him a hockey stick, or Joe Montana's dad to give him a football, or Larry Bird's dad to give him a basketball, but it wasn't okay for Gloria Connors to give her son a tennis racquet.

Equality? They ought to play the women's final on opening day. Everybody knows who's going to be in it.
