I Never Lost A Tennis Match, I

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?'

I'm Getting Tired Of Saying Hello To Stan Smith And Not Getting Any Reply. I'm Cocky And Confident And Maybe I'm Too Bullheaded Sometimes, But I Think I Have Some Fan And Player Support. I Know What The Others Say, But I'm Not That Obnoxious. I Am Not A Punk. I'm 5' 10", 155 Pounds. I've Got Broad Shoulders And I Can Pack A Punch. Most Of These Guys Are Windbags Anyway. If They Ever Try Anything With Me, I'll Be To The Net Fast.

I Was Raised By Two Women, And That Laid The Groundwork For The Way I Treat 'em: With The Utmost Respect And Admiration.

I Had True Rivalries. Not Only Did I Want To Beat My Opponent, But I Didn't Want To Let Him Up, Either. I Had A Rivalry With Mac, Lendl, Borg. Everybody Knew There Was Tension Between Us, On Court And Off. That's What's Really Ingrained In My Mind: 'this Is Real. This Isn't A Soft Rivalry.' There Were No Hugs And Kisses.

I Hate To Lose More Than I Love To Win.
