If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.

I've been in a lot of trouble and come out of it. I think it shows a lot of good character.
Stefan Edberg
Image
I played Chang here under the lights here. I think that was '91. Another good match. I've played a lot more good matches under the lights than I played bad. You tend to remember some of the bad ones unfortunately.

I'll play as long as I'm still willing to work this much, to do all these sacrifices

As years go by, chances of winning here are getting slimmer. That's just a matter of fact. It does get tougher, but it's possible, there's a tiny little chance.

I'm really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that's really important.

The crowds can be very loud, especially when you're playing in the evening.

I've been here playing against Connors and it can be very, very loud. It makes it exciting at the same time.

If I'm going to be out there, I want to be in the top 10 and really have a chance of winning a Grand Slam.
Stefan Edberg
Image
A good thing is I've been playing tennis I think every day for the last two months. I really haven't had a day off. I've been doing things that I did used to do.

Image
I think in 1991, when Jimmy got to the semifinals, it was just incredible all of the people coming out.
Stefan Edberg
Image
I'm telling you, it's so exciting playing out there because I'm playing well, you have the crowd behind you, and it's such a good feeling. I'm really having a good time out there.
Stefan Edberg
Image
For me, and most of the other players, too, if you had to pick one of the four Grand Slams, you would pick Wimbledon. It's got tradition, it's got atmosphere, and it's got mystique.
Stefan Edberg
Image
I had one good racket, a Wilson Javelin. It was my favorite racket, and I made the mistake of putting it next to the heater. It just got so hot that it melted.
Stefan Edberg
Image
It was a tough year for me, '89, losing two Slam finals and losing another five finals. It wasn't until I won the Masters, or what's now called the ATP Finals, that things changed again. Suddenly I won seven tournaments in 1990 and became No. 1.
