Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.

A lot of sports, over the years, become a game. If you are into tennis, it becomes part of your lifestyle.

You've got to win in sports -- that's talent -- but you've also got to learn how to remind everybody how you did win, and how often. That comes with experience.

I've never cared that much for cementing my place in history. Sports is so transitory, so ephemeral. It just seems like so much nonsense comparing me to Helen Wills Moody or Suzanne Lenglen or anybody else from some other time. One lesson you learn from sports is that life goes on without you.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

I wanted to use sports for social change.
