Tennessee Williams was a gifted talker with a beautiful accent and we had lots of things in common.
‐‐ Gloria Swanson
Tennessee Williams was so adept at portraying characters who are both fallible and vulnerable. Women were a huge influence in his life, his mother and sister in particular.
‐‐ Kim Cattrall
Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.
‐‐ Roger Kahn
Tennis Australia really led the charge as far as upping the prize money and trying to do the right thing by the players. They also led the way so women have equal prize money in all the grand slams too.
‐‐ Samantha Stosur
Tennis Canada nominated me a few years ago, and I did some research into it and realized it's one of the biggest honours you can have as a Canadian. I've seen the list of the people, and it's pretty special.
‐‐ Daniel Nestor
Tennis doesn't encourage any kind of intellectual development.
‐‐ Jim Courier
Tennis doesn't owe me anything. Tennis is one of the fairest sports. It's given me so many extraordinary feelings.
‐‐ David Ferrer
Tennis has been around for so long - women have been playing the majors since the 1800s. Other sports have not had professional leagues for women for as long.
‐‐ Venus Williams
Tennis has given me soul.
‐‐ Martina Navratilova
Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it.
‐‐ Maria Sharapova
Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.
‐‐ Gabriela Sabatini
Tennis has to become everything to you if you're going to make it to the top. You have to live it.
‐‐ Monica Seles
Tennis helped give me an identity and made me feel like somebody.
‐‐ Chris Evert
Tennis is a big puzzle. It's not any more physical or mental; you have to have all the pieces first, and then you have to put all the pieces together. For me, it took me time.
‐‐ Stanislas Wawrinka
Tennis is a full-time job and not just the two hours that people see when we're on the court.
‐‐ Andy Roddick
Tennis is a funny game, and it takes a life-time of keeping one's eyes open on the circuit to have any chance of understanding the strange phenomena that exist in our exciting sport!
‐‐ Sania Mirza
Tennis is a hard sport. There is a lot of competition all year and you play alone.
‐‐ Rafael Nadal
Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.
‐‐ Novak Djokovic
Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.
‐‐ Billie Jean King
Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.
‐‐ Boris Becker
Tennis is all about mental toughness, and you have to keep your head in the game. I make time to relax away from competition pressures, travel and intense training schedules to make sure I'm looking after myself. Taking time out with family and friends helps to maintain the work-life balance everyone needs.
‐‐ Samantha Stosur
Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.
‐‐ Andy Murray
Tennis is basically a game where you try to create an opportunity for yourself to finish the point, because you can't wait for the opponent to miss anymore. Well, if you create an opportunity and don't take advantage of it, you let the opponent back to even, then you are just starting the point over, so you have to take advantage of them.
‐‐ Ivan Lendl
Tennis is best of three sets, so even if I lose the first set, I still have a chance.
‐‐ Li Na
Tennis is definitely a star for women in sports.
‐‐ Venus Williams
Tennis is for me joy, nothing less than that.
‐‐ Sabine Lisicki
Tennis is interesting because the women are almost more popular than the men. In the U.S. Open, women even get exactly the same money as the men.
‐‐ Summer Sanders
Tennis is like, it gives you a lot of chances, but if you don't take those chances, it takes a lot of chances away from you. It's just the scoring pattern. We cannot dwell over a loss or a win for very long. We have no time to celebrate; we have no time to dwell; we have to move on. Wake up the next day and try and win the match.
‐‐ Sania Mirza
Tennis is more commercial these days.
‐‐ Lindsay Davenport
Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.
‐‐ Venus Williams
Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.
‐‐ Serena Williams
Tennis is my life, obviously; I need to focus, I need to win. But it's not the only thing. I'm not going to play forever.
‐‐ Novak Djokovic
Tennis is not like other sports where the coach is hired by an independent entity, and that makes a huge difference in the dynamic.
‐‐ Ivan Lendl
Tennis is pretty unforgiving if you are carrying weight. You are expected to wear short skirts, and you are compared to all these 16 and 17-year-olds.
‐‐ Monica Seles
Tennis is seen all around the world; if I am home or anywhere in the country, United States, people will stare.
‐‐ Pete Sampras
Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be.
‐‐ Monica Seles
Tennis is such an individual and competitive sport, but it is great being part of a team and getting to know the girls outside of tennis - even though we are all competing for the same thing!
‐‐ Dominika Cibulkova
Tennis is what I do and is part of who I am.
‐‐ Jennifer Capriati
Tennis just a game, family is forever.
‐‐ Serena Williams
Tennis lets you talk while you're playing.
‐‐ Jane Kaczmarek
Tennis players are very fortunate that unlike some disciplines of sport, in mega-sporting events like the Grand Slams, they have a huge platform to showcase their talents on the world stage once every few months.
‐‐ Sania Mirza
Tennis players go into a press conference, and almost every one of them is the same. We do very little differently on a day-to-day basis.
‐‐ Lleyton Hewitt
Tennis players need to be very focused and very intense, and I can show tennis players are not just hitting the little yellow ball and moving in between the white lines. I'm always trying to show my personality outside of the court.
‐‐ Tomas Berdych
Tennis players we're always playing in center courts that feel like arenas. And when we get on the court and the crowd cheers your name or salutes you - it's like you're a gladiator in the arena. And everyone is cheering - and you're fighting, you're screaming, during your strokes - it feels like you're an animal, fighting for your life.
‐‐ Novak Djokovic
Tennis takes care of everything. It requires agility and quickness to get to the ball, core strength to get power into your shorts and stamina to last for an entire match. In addition to toning your arms and shoulders, it's a total body workout for your legs and abs, and works your heart and core unlike any other sport.
‐‐ Samantha Stosur
Tennis: the most perfect combination of athleticism, artistry, power, style, and wit. A beautiful game, but one so remorselessly travestied by the passage of time.
‐‐ Martin Amis
Tennis was always sort of a - a learning. It was a vehicle for me to discover a lot about myself. And the things that I sort of discovered at times I not only didn't want to see it for myself but I certainly didn't want millions of people to see it.
‐‐ Andre Agassi
Tennis was always there for me, which was lucky. I would go play baseball, basketball, football, hang with my brother, do whatever, and at the end of the day I'd come back and say, 'Hey, Mom, would you hit 15 minutes worth of balls with me?'
‐‐ Jimmy Connors
Tennis was more than a passing interest, but I found my ability didn't measure up to these West Coast kids who had played 12 months a year and taken it much more seriously than I.
