To meet my goals, I couldn't let up when I was playing tennis.

My mom and dad met at UCLA when he as a captain in the Air Force and she was in her junior year.

Pam has always been my glamorous big sister - 13 years older than I. She played on the women's circuit for nine years and came home to tell me stories of France, Japan.

The prize money for first place was $2,800, but I didn't take it because I was still an amateur.

My mind started wandering. I started playing carefully, instead of playing the way that had gotten me to that point. I had to force myself to keep driving the ball.

I began playing in the Pacific Coast Indoor Tennis Championships.

Mary Joe Fernandez rarely has a bad loss. She never tries for stupid shots.
