Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Tennis is for me joy, nothing less than that.
I like playing tennis. I've always enjoyed the process of being a tennis player; I'm just not sure that I enjoyed the travel at the end, and my body didn't recover from the day-to-day grind.
With everything else that would swirl around me when I got involved in it, tennis was my main concern.
Tennis: the most perfect combination of athleticism, artistry, power, style, and wit. A beautiful game, but one so remorselessly travestied by the passage of time.
I love tennis, love it!
I think the tennis is only a game. You can lose. You can win. After that? In life, there are much more important things than tennis.
Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.
I've been around tennis, and I have a feeling for the sport. I still play tennis, and I can still do a lot of harm to a lot of people.
I have been playing tennis for a very long time. Tennis is my life. I see my life in other places, and there are other challenges for me.
Tennis is my life, obviously; I need to focus, I need to win. But it's not the only thing. I'm not going to play forever.
