Jimmy Connors Quotes

When you’re hot, anything can happen Picture Quote #1

I never lost a tennis match, I just ran out of time Picture Quote #1

Experience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience, you’re too damned old to do anything about it Picture Quote #1

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?’ Picture Quote #1

I had true rivalries. Not only did I want to beat my opponent, but I didn’t want to let him up, either. I had a rivalry with Mac, Lendl, Borg. Everybody knew there was tension between us, on court and off. That’s what’s really ingrained in my mind: ‘This is real. This isn’t a soft rivalry.’ There were no hugs and kisses Picture Quote #1

Back in East St. Louis, tennis wasn’t the real thing. If you weren’t playing baseball, basketball, football, you were kind of on the outside Picture Quote #1

A year from now you'll wish you started today

I told you I'll be ready in FIVE minutes, stop calling me every half hour

I think my greatest victory was every time I walked out there, I gave it everything I had. I left everything out there. That’s what I’m most proud of. I can’t go win Wimbledon anymore, so if what I’ve done in the past is not good enough, let it go. Because I’m certainly not sitting around thinking about it Picture Quote #1

Use it or lose it Picture Quote #1

Big money encourages tanking. In my opinion, tanking is going on even with a lot of the top guys today - it’s quite evident Picture Quote #1

New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up Picture Quote #1

I would watch Gonzalez play and he mesmerized you. It would be like looking into the flame of a fire. You know you couldn’t take your eyes off him because you never knew what he would do next Picture Quote #1

From where we lived, to practise in St Louis was an hour-and-a-half drive each way, so that took a lot of the time. So really, our lives just took different paths Picture Quote #1

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary

Don't look back you're not going that way

I hate to lose more than I love to win Picture Quote #1

I always insist on my jeans being ironed. Is that a problem? Picture Quote #1

What works for the person you’re imitating may not work for you Picture Quote #1

When you’re hot, anything can happen Picture Quote #1

I was never part of the crowd Picture Quote #1

I am not looking to be understood or liked. Like me or not, I don’t care. I am an outsider, that is the way I was brought up Picture Quote #1

When we first met, i had no idea you would be so important to me

I never make the same mistake twice. I make it five or six times, just to be sure

But why should I read what somebody else thinks of my life when I know the real story? Picture Quote #1

I hate to lose more than I love to win. I hate to see the happiness on their faces when they beat me Picture Quote #1

Every time I went out there I performed the best that I could and it was time to step back and clear my mind Picture Quote #1

Bjorn was a different breed, I threw my best material at him, but he would never smile, but that added to the charm when he played me and Mac. We were going nuts and losing our mind and he was sitting back like he was on a Sunday stroll Picture Quote #1

I’ve been kicked in the teeth more times in tennis than the law ought to allow Picture Quote #1

Experience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience, you’re too damned old to do anything about it Picture Quote #1

Men go shopping to buy what they need. Women go shopping to find out what they want

A true friend is someone who accepts your past, supports your present and encourages your future

For the last five or six years the most important thing in my life has been my family Picture Quote #1

People don’t seem to understand that it’s a damn war out there Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had Picture Quote #1

You have to remember that I played longer than anybody else on the main tour; I played until I was 40, and then played another six years or so on the seniors tour Picture Quote #1

People say I’m around because I have a lot of heart, but I know all the heart in the world couldn’t have helped me if I wasn’t physically fit Picture Quote #1
