Our Love One's Are Never Gone, They

There Is No Life For Girls In Team Sports Past Little League. I Got Into Tennis When I Realized This, And Because I Thought Golf Would Be Too Slow For Me, And I Was Too Scared To Swim.

I've Never Cared That Much For Cementing My Place In History. Sports Is So Transitory, So Ephemeral. It Just Seems Like So Much Nonsense Comparing Me To Helen Wills Moody Or Suzanne Lenglen Or Anybody Else From Some Other Time. One Lesson You Learn From Sports Is That Life Goes On Without You.

I Hate Being Called A Homosexual Because I Don't Feel That Way. It Really Upsets Me ... Being Gay Can Happen In Any Walk Of Life, In Any World. If You Have One Gay Experience, Does That Mean You're Gay? If You Have One Heterosexual Experience, Does That Mean You're Straight? Life Doesn't Work Quite So Cut And Dried.

In The Complete Overall History Of Tennis, I Figure I'll Be Worth A Sentence Or Two.... That's Why My Place In The All-time Rankings Means So Very Little To Me, Because I Know I Won't Be Anybody's Number One, And It's That Same Old Thing: If You're Not Number One, Then What Does It Really Matter?

I Like Putting Money Back Into What Made My Life, And Tennis Has Been Great To Me.
