Tennis is still very successful in spite of itself.
Jim Courier
Many books have been written about what the X-factor is, what separates people who win big matches versus those who struggle. Some of it's innate, but there's a piece of it that's learned, embracing those moments.

Jim Courier
It's a simple question of supply and demand. But all of us are grossly overpaid. I think it's a ridiculous dispute.
Jim Courier
