I actually wanted to be a tennis player.
Constance Jablonski
Image
Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.
Serena Williams
Image
There is competition. It's almost like I'm back in tennis competing in a way. There are usually about twenty composers vying for the number one spot for a big or medium film.
Aaron Zigman
Image
As a tennis player you have to get used to losing every week. Unless you win the tournament, you always go home as a loser. But you have to take the positive out of a defeat and go back to work. Improve to fail better.
Stan Wawrinka
Image
It was very unusual for a boy to play tennis in my country.
Novak Djokovic
Image
Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.
Billie Jean King
Image
I have always considered tennis as a combat in an arena between two gladiators who have their racquets and their courage as their weapons.
Yannick Noah
Image
It was okay for Wayne Gretzky's dad, for instance, to give him a hockey stick, or Joe Montana's dad to give him a football, or Larry Bird's dad to give him a basketball, but it wasn't okay for Gloria Connors to give her son a tennis racquet.
Jimmy Connors
Image
All my time in rehab has made me appreciate tennis more than ever.
Kim Clijsters
Image
Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.
Serena Williams
Image
The rumor is that when I was younger, I didn't like to sweat and I didn't like to run, and both of those things are kind of important in tennis. I was introduced to a lot of sports as a child: I did gymnastics, figure skating, tennis and golf, and I dabbled a little bit in ballet. I just never fell in love with tennis the way I did with golf.
Jessica Korda
Image
This tennis world, this tennis community, is very much a bubble, and it's very easy to get lost in here. You know, there is a real world out there still.
Johanna Konta
Image
Ladies, here's a hint. If you're up against a girl with big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed.
Billie Jean King
Image
I don't want to be remembered for my tennis accomplishments. That's no contribution to society. [Tennis] was purely selfish that was for me.
Arthur Ashe
Image
I train Monday through Saturday. I usually have fitness training for 90 minutes, then I'm on the tennis court for 3 to 4 hours.
Sloane Stephens
Image
Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women's ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men's tennis.
Billie Jean King
Image
As a child, I wanted to be an athlete, a professional tennis player or something like that.
Jonathan Ames
Image
Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.
Roger Kahn
Image
In tennis you're on an island. Of all the games men and women play, tennis is the closest to solitary confinement.
Andre Agassi
Image
I'm not lucky. If I play another player, even if I don't play really good, I think I can win.
Richard Gasquet
Image
I guess my goal is to design my own walker. The walkers with the big tennis balls, no one wants to use those. I would rather crawl down the street in New York City than use those.
Abbey Curran
Image
I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam, then moved on to NFL 2K on Dreamcast. The game I really loved was Virtua Tennis.
Chris Paul
Image
I don't play any tournaments to come second best.
Andy Murray
Image
You don't have to hate your opponents to beat them.
Kim Clijsters
