I never lost a tennis match, I just ran out of time

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.

Tennis would be much more exciting if they had pitching machines firing Tennis was given to me to keep me off the street corners of east St. Louis.

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 think my greatest victory was every time I walked out there, I gave it everything I had. I left everything out there. That's what I'm most proud of. I can't go win Wimbledon anymore, so if what I've done in the past is not good enough, let it go. Because I'm certainly not sitting around thinking about it.

When you're hot, anything can happen.

What works for the person you're imitating may not work for you.
