Trophies separate the winners from losers, and life is about winning and losing. Go into business and you see. You're competing every day.
Jim Courier
You can kick a ball into the net, throw a basketball into the net. Tennis is complicated. It'll make a lot of great athletes run the other way because they can't be successful initially.
Jim Courier
We lose a lot of young athletes because tennis is such a difficult sport. It's not like kicking a soccer ball.
