"Tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love, the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence because every match is a life in miniature."

"I've got to admit, I'm a little bit sensitive. I just don't want to be the guy who's shaking his fist."

"I play each point like my life depends on it."

"You've got to love what you're doing. If you love it, you can overcome any handicap or the soreness or all the aches and pains, and continue to play for a long, long time."

"Tennis is the loneliest sport."

"The older I get, the better I used to be."

"The main thing is that it's nice to see these young players when they're playing well."
