This Sport Has Given Me So Much

A Great Coach Can Lead You To A Place Where You Don't Need Him Any More.

My Father Actually Moved Out From Chicago Just So He Could Play Tennis 365 Days A Year, So It Was - It Was A Place We Played Every Day. We Played Before School. We Played After School. We Woke Up. We Played Tennis. We Brushed Our Teeth In That Order.

When I Was 7 Years Old I Saw Jimmy Connors Make Someone Carry His Bag, As Though He Were Julius Caesar. I Vowed Then And There That I Would Always Carry My Own.

Well, I Actually Tell My Son That I Don't Have Any Hair Because He Asked Me The Same Question That I Gave It To Him When He Was Born, So He Actually Still Believes That. He's Five Years Old.

You Know My Dad Pushed Me To Believe That I Was Going To Be The Best. I Just Never Thought Of Life Without Tennis, Even Looking Forward.
