Let Me Put It This

There's No Better Stage Than The U.s. Open For Me

I Have Become Convinced That We Blacks Spend Too Much Time On The Playing Field And Too Little Time In Libraries.

Some Folks Call Tennis A Rich People's Sport Or A White Person's Game. I Guess I Started Too Early Because I Just Thought It Was Something Fun To Do. Later, I Discovered There Was A Lot Of Work To Being Good In Tennis. You've Got To Make A Lot Of Sacrifices And Spend A Lot Of Time If You Really Want To Achieve With This Sport, Or In Any Sport, Or In Anything Truly Worthwhile.

A Wise Person Decides Slowly But Abides By These Decisions.

I Don't Want To Be Remembered For My Tennis Accomplishments. That's No Contribution To Society. [tennis] Was Purely Selfish; That Was For Me.
