Once You've Been Number One, You Can

Competitive Toughness Is An Acquired Skill And Not An Inherited Gift.

Losing Hurts Me. I Was Determined To Be The Best.

Losses Are Always A Relief. They Take A Burden Off Me, Make Me Feel More Normal. If I Win Several Tournaments In A Row I Get So Confident I'm In A Cloud. If I Lose I Go Back To The Dressing Room And I'm No Better Nor Worse Than Anyone Else. A Loss Gets Me Eager Again.

I Always Looked Ahead.

Relationships Are Give-and-take, And When You're A Tennis Player, You're Certainly Not Giving. You Have To Be Self-absorbed. It Has To Be About You.
