More quotes by Jim Courier

Jim Courier
America has an interesting global role, don't we? It certainly seems to be changing. Our government right now has a softer hand than we've had in the past, but I still think that we're the global behemoth.
Jim Courier
Flying has opened up new horizons for tennis.
Jim Courier
I think there's no reason the Davis Cup couldn't be as powerful and popular and profitable as any of the four majors are today, given some changes.

The dumber you are on court, the better you're going to play.
Jim Courier
There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that most champions are born into certain environments and encouraged early. Then, later on, they might get some assistance from their federations.
Jim Courier
We lose a lot of young athletes because tennis is such a difficult sport. It's not like kicking a soccer ball.
Jim Courier
It's hard for anyone in the 24-hour news cycles that we all live in now to follow something that the first round is played in March and the final finishes in December. I understand the challenges there.
Jim Courier
Unbelievable, yet, what else could it be?
Jim Courier
I am there to play tennis and represent the U.S., but I'm also aware that not everyone's going to be able to think that way.
Jim Courier
What separates the winners from the losers is that they can deal with doing their best while still coming up short.
Jim Courier
There's a reason why Federer and Nadal are so gracious when they lose. They sleep well at night knowing that they've given their best.
Jim Courier
In America, we love to give people second chances too - as long as you admit you were wrong and come back and do it the right way.
Jim Courier
There are certainly great cities in America that don't have ATP and WTA events. Our fans are very provincial. They want American champions.
Jim Courier
Focusing on one thing can be tough, and people with fewer options are more apt to concentrate on what they're doing. There's probably something to hunger.
