I grew up in an age where women's tennis did not have similar prizes to men, and they played in complete obscurity, really, compared to the men's game.
I think Serena Williams is the best tennis player of this generation, if not the best ever. It is amazing for her to be playing as well as she is at the age of 31.
Safin, in his way, is very talented. It is a joy to watch them play; it is tennis of a very high quality.
I'm super, super casual. I like boxer shorts or jeans or tank tops, tennis shoes and flip flops. That's about it for me.
In tennis it's easy to get greedy - and one Grand Slam doesn't feel enough any more.
A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.
It's like playing tennis, you play a different rally with different people. Every actor is different and the chemistry between actors is different.
I have this terrible dark side to my personality, which playing tennis keeps at bay.
It's a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain. Every year it's getting worse and worse and worse. There has to be a radical change, and I hope it will be really soon.
I had a great tennis career. I have no regrets. But to find peace with yourself, and to finally be with your family - I'm probably the happiest guy in the world.
I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.
When I'm sitting at home in the off season and I don't have anything to do, I watch tennis on my computer. It's kind of boring. It's something to do.
My parents did everything possible. My dad has worked from eight in the morning until nine in the evening to make it possible so I can play tennis. We had to cancel tournaments because we couldn't afford to go there.
There are a lot of good memories, and because I was injured, during the rehab, I met my wife. The tennis was very good but the injuries were good for something too.
Girls had never been important. I'd had a girlfriend or two and had liked them a lot but it wasn't love, because my first love was tennis.
It wasn't my tennis that made me lose, it was a lot of different things going on, high drama, high emotion.
With everything else that would swirl around me when I got involved in it, tennis was my main concern.
The idea of doing a tennis movie is truly unbelievable to me. Well, first of all, they don't really exist.
As a teenager, Monica Seles won some historic matches on the tennis court, dominating opponents and filling a room with trophies.
Everyone needs a coach. It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.
My mother wanted very much to play tennis; she wanted, most of all, to be a singer and play the piano.
