For The Last Five Or Six Years

It Was Okay For Wayne Gretzky's Dad, For Instance, To Give Him A Hockey Stick, Or Joe Montana's Dad To Give Him A Football, Or Larry Bird's Dad To Give Him A Basketball, But It Wasn't Okay For Gloria Connors To Give Her Son A Tennis Racquet.

I Hate To Lose More Than I Love To Win.

Tennis Was Never Work For Me, Tennis Was Fun. And The Tougher The Battle And The Longer The Match, The More Fun I Had.

Tennis Was Always There For Me, Which Was Lucky. I Would Go Play Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hang With My Brother, Do Whatever, And At The End Of The Day I'd Come Back And Say, 'hey, Mom, Would You Hit 15 Minutes Worth Of Balls With Me?'

Rather Than Viewing A Brief Relapse Back To Inactivity As A Failure, Treat It As A Challenge And Try To Get Back On Track As Soon As Possible.
