While it would be as wrong of me to attribute these traits to women at the exclusion of men as it would be for a man to do the reverse, I think women can often be very strong team players and good communicators and collaborators.

A woman can beat any man; it's difficult to imagine another kind of sport where a woman can beat a man. That's why I like chess.

I'm the biggest draw in the sport, and I'm a woman.

I think men are more adventurous in that they're more likely to take chances. Women play it safe. But now, maybe more of the women that see how it's working for the guys think, 'I can do that, too'. Maybe they'll pick male players, not necessarily female players; it's just whatever that match is that works for that player.

The only woman I have played in my career was my wife and I beat her easily! But she wasn't much good.

I think we're actually the only sport that has a mix of men and women competing together. The majority of other sports are separated by gender.

I grew up in an age where women's tennis did not have similar prizes to men, and they played in complete obscurity, really, compared to the men's game.

Tennis has been around for so long - women have been playing the majors since the 1800s. Other sports have not had professional leagues for women for as long.

There are no gentlemen in anything competitive - you want to win.
