There have been many frustrating games. I don't there's going to be another one that isn't frustrating. That happens, but that's sport. Otherwise why would there be so much glory in victory.

More quotes by Venus Williams
I have to say accounting almost killed me.
Venus Williams
I feel amazing right now. I just feel like dancing.
Venus Williams
It's amazing when tragedy strikes, how strong you find that you are, and I'd seen other people go through horrible things. And I just thought, Wow, I would be a complete mess, and then suddenly when it happens, you realize you had more strength than you knew and it helps you to get through.
Venus Williams
I'm not a trend person. I don't want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.
Venus Williams
I don't want to give anyone an edge in my mind. Every time I walk out on the court, I have to feel I'm the best so I can compete well. A lot of times, my chief rival is just me.
Venus Williams
I remember watching the Olympics at home as a kid. It was one my Dad's dreams to win an Olympic medal.
Venus Williams
If I go down, it's never easy. At least my opponent knows they have to go to the end of the earth to take me out no matter what the circumstances. I do try to compete. Even if it's not your best day, I just try to walk off the court knowing I gave 100,000 percent.
Venus Williams
People ask me where I get my fighting qualities from, and I have to say Serena.
Venus Williams
Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.
Venus Williams
I've always found the rain very calming.
Venus Williams
A lot of times when you play... you get this adrenalin that blocks pain.
Venus Williams
Tennis is a huge part of my life, but I don't base my self-value or my self-worth or the quality of my life on my results on the court.
Venus Williams
Serena and I, we don't have anything to prove ... we still set a very high standard.
Venus Williams
I guess rumors are more exciting than the truth.
Venus Williams
Serena and I have done some great career planning, and we're playing really at the peak of our tennis right now. I think tennis has been a sport where people play this insane schedule from 14 years old, so of course at 26, it's over. We've really paced ourselves.
Venus Williams
To be a well-rounded person and know what's going on in the world around you, to have a perspective outside of your sport, is important for every athlete. I'm blessed that our parents gave us that.
Venus Williams
So what if you fail? At least you'll know what not to do when you try again.
Venus Williams
The naysayers, they don't mean a thing.
Venus Williams
My first job is big sister and I take that very seriously.
Venus Williams
It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.
