Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

More quotes by Venus Williams
It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.
Venus Williams
You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner.
Venus Williams
Rain is good for me. I feel like I achieve clarity actually when it rains. The longer I have to sit and wait, the clearer my game becomes to me.
Venus Williams
So what if you fail? At least you'll know what not to do when you try again.
Venus Williams
I think everyone deals with things in their own way. Everybody's different. My family are all different. None of us are the same. We all deal with different things in different ways. I think it's about knowing yourself, what pushes your buttons, and figuring out how to work with yourself.
Venus Williams
My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.

The thing is, it's not good anyway for eight-year-olds to be out there playing tennis tournaments so soon in their lives. But when I did get to play in a tournament, when I was nine, I was overjoyed.

It's a great feeling to have accomplished what I have, but I want to do more.
Venus Williams
I've always found the rain very calming.
Venus Williams
It is very important not to think about losing.
Venus Williams
Just always believe in yourself. Champions adjust. It's a line I learned from Billie Jean King, and sometimes your dream adjusts. Be willing to adjust with it and see where your opportunities ... sometimes a door closes but a window opens, so just follow your dreams and continue. You never know where it's going to take you.
Venus Williams
Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to.
Venus Williams
I know I'm good at tennis. Other than that, everything else is a wild card. I'm a wild card.
Venus Williams
Winning once is never anyone's dream. We all want to keep winning no matter what it is, or if we retire, we all still are striving toward something, probably most of us are.
Venus Williams
Everything is tennis for me, it's my career and it's entertainment, but it's also a business.
Venus Williams
Workout. Lead a balanced life and try to have fun. It's what you make it.
Venus Williams
I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis, not let anything get to me, like crazy questions. But I'm tough, let me tell you, tough as nails.
Venus Williams
Sometimes, when there's a video montage. I'm thinking, 'That's my life. Oh, my God, I did that.' Yeah, it's amazing.
Venus Williams
It's what I've trained for, from the first sketch to the fabric. Making dresses that are different from the usual style, and a lot of fun to wear.
Venus Williams
I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.
