The Most Animated Talks We Have Are

It's Shocking How Little There Is To Do With Tennis When You're Just Thinking About Nothing Except Winning Every Point.

The Scoreboard Said I Lost Today, But What The Scoreboard Doesn't Say Is What It Is I Have Found. Over The Last 21 Years, I Have Found Loyalty. You Have Pulled For Me On The Court And Also In Life. I Found Inspiration. You Have Willed Me To Succeed, Sometimes Even In My Lowest Moments, And I've Found Generosity. You Have Given Me Your Shoulders To Stand On To Reach For My Dreams, Dreams I Could Never Have Reached Without You.

I Had My Moments For Sure But I Wasn't Confrontational. And Sometimes You Get On The Court And You'd Find Yourself Very Confrontational. It Was All A Discovery.

It's No Accident, I Think, That 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. Even The Structure Of Tennis, The Way The Pieces Fit Inside One Another Like Russian Nesting Dolls, Mimics The Structure Of Our Days. Points Become Games Become Sets Become Tournaments, And It's All So Tightly Connected That Any Point Can Become The Turning Point. It Reminds Me Of The Way Seconds Become Minutes Become Hours, And Any Hour Can Be Our Finest. Or Darkest. It's Our Choice.

I Always Felt Tennis And Winning Was A Byproduct Of Doing Everything Right.
