In the tennis world, there weren't a whole lot of Asians playing. You see it a little bit more now. The same can really be said for basketball.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Asian players train so hard. Most of the time, on Monday mornings, the only people you see on the range are Asians. I mean, only see Asians.
I believe that we are still hovering around the realm of Asians playing all types of Asians. I do not see that changing any time soon just because there is a limited pool of Asian actors.
It was simple reality - most competitive tennis players in my day were privileged, spoiled, entitled and white. Also, many of them were beautiful, fit, tan and of good stock - great big hair and white teeth and long legs. Then there were the rest of us.
Seems like most of the kids today are into other sports other than tennis.
There is this brutal side to tennis. It was invented as a game for kings and cardinals and people with a lot of power who didn't have to share the field with other players.
Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be.
No matter what happens, tennis is still tennis: You can see a lot of great matches, a lot of new people.
Tennis was a white, upper-class sport, and I wanted it to be treated like other sports were.
Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.
I expect more people from China and Asia to end up in the NBA.
