Tennis Obviously Isn't As Popular

I Don`t Know Why, But I Love The Dog Eat Dog Nature Of Tennis. It`s Real, It`s Brutal And There`s No Hiding Place - It's Like A One To One Street Fight. I Love The Intensity That Comes With Knowing You Walk Off Court Either A Winner Or A Loser. It`s Daunting But Very Exciting. There Is No One To Blame Except Yourself, No One Cares Who Comes Second.

A Couple Hundred People Around, And I'm Shaking.

When I Committed To Playing A Little Tennis In Some Exhibitions, It Was The Best Thing For Me. It Got Me In Shape. It Got Me Out Of The House. It Got Me Doing Something I Love To Do.

Choking Is Being In A Position To Win, And Then Experiencing Some Critical Failure Of Nerve Or Spirit. That Never Happened To Me. And I Can't Help But Think It Was Because I Was Never Afraid To Lose.

I Want To End My Career On My Terms, Not On What People Think I Should Do.
