Billie Jean King
Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad.
Billie Jean King
Ladies, here's a hint. If you're up against a girl with big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed.
Billie Jean King
When people tell you not to believe in your dreams, and they say “Why?”, say “Why not?
Billie Jean King
Winning comes down to who can execute under pressure.
Billie Jean King
Winning is very tangible, it's very exciting, it's very pleasing, but it's momentary. If you can do things that last, that each generation can build upon, then that's when you're cooking.
Billie Jean King
Martina and I went through a very bad five years. Everything's very good between us now, but it was a long haul.
Billie Jean King
