If You're A Champion, You

The Great High Of Winning Wimbledon Lasts For About A Week. You Go Down In The Record Book, But You Don't Have Anything Tangible To Hold On To. But Having A Baby -- There Isn't Any Comparison.

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

When I Was In Grade School And We Had To Write Papers About What We Wanted To Be When We Grew Up, I Wanted To Be A Social Worker Or A Missionary Or A Teacher... Then I Got Involved With Tennis, And Everything Was Just Me, Me, Me. I Was Totally Selfish And Thought About Myself And Nobody Else, Because If You Let Up For One Minute, Someone Was Going To Come Along And Beat You. I Really Wouldn't Let Anyone Or Any Slice Of Happiness Enter... I Didn't Like The Characteristics That It Took To Become A Champion.

I Still Have This Image: I Can't Be Controversial, I Can't Say Things.

After Being At The Top, I Don't Think I Could Play Senior Tournaments, Because You Know How Good You Were. I Don't Know If I Would Enjoy That, Being Half Of What I Was.
