Tennis Quotes

With tennis, you can go pick up a racket, take a lesson, and understand how much talent and skill it takes to be as good as the top pros. Same with golf: pick up a club. But not many can go out and get in a race car and experience a drive at over 200 miles an hour Picture Quote #1

Tennis takes care of everything. It requires agility and quickness to get to the ball, core strength to get power into your shorts and stamina to last for an entire match. In addition to toning your arms and shoulders, it’s a total body workout for your legs and abs, and works your heart and core unlike any other sport Picture Quote #1

Serena and I have done some great career planning, and we’re playing really at the peak of our tennis right now. I think tennis has been a sport where people play this insane schedule from 14 years old, so of course at 26, it’s over. We’ve really paced ourselves Picture Quote #1

Tennis is pretty unforgiving if you are carrying weight. You are expected to wear short skirts, and you are compared to all these 16 and 17-year-olds Picture Quote #1

Minute to Win It’ is a variation on a game show from the 1950s called ‘Beat the Clock,’ in which contestants won washing machines and fox stoles by doing such pointless stunts as catching a tennis ball in a paper cup or knocking a hat off one’s wife’s head with a whipped-cream spritzer Picture Quote #1

We’re following the evolution of tennis. On the women’s side, there has been a very positive change, with the arrival of many new stars Picture Quote #1

Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn’t allowed in a photo because I wasn’t wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport Picture Quote #1

Seeing the intensity and power she brings to the game, it’s hard to imagine her being anything but single-minded in pursuing tennis. But Serena Williams has other passions, too. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day, week or month for one of the world’s most gifted athletes to chase her many interests Picture Quote #1

I’d love to open a tennis school for children in my hometown of Sochi Picture Quote #1

I always listen, I ask children, I even ask adults in tennis, What are your children playing? And most of the time it’s not tennis. It’s pathetic Picture Quote #1

Probably around 14, when I was finishing primary school. I’m coming from a pretty small city in Croatia, not too many options to train, not too many players. So I had to either choose to stay at home to do more school or move to Zagreb to the national training center. That was when I made decisions to do something better in tennis Picture Quote #1

The poet Melvin B. Tolson once said, ‘A civilization is judged only in its decline.’ That made sense to me. I would imagine the same is true for poets and tennis players Picture Quote #1

I think actors have to have clear goals in term of fitness, I think it is very important. I did yoga very seriously and I think that is a wonderful exercise. I take tennis lessons, and I swim a lot Picture Quote #1

As public schools deteriorate, the upper-middle class and wealthy send their kids to private ones. As public pools and playgrounds decay, the better-off buy memberships in private tennis and swimming clubs. As public hospitals decline, the well-off pay premium rates for private care Picture Quote #1

If you offer athletes stipends, then you’re into pay-for-play, and that’s the ballgame. People should realize that, and they should realize that amateurism never has been a sustainable model for a sports-entertainment industry. It wasn’t in tennis. It wasn’t in the Olympics. And it’s not in big-time college sports Picture Quote #1

As far as U.S. tennis, we need new stars coming up in the pipeline, but I don’t know if we have it Picture Quote #1

Contractions, ‘U’ for ‘you’ and the like are wonderful to make communication brief and efficient - but we wouldn’t want all our talk to be only brief and efficient. Taking pauses out of language would be like taking the net away from a tennis game. Where would all the fun go? Picture Quote #1

I’ve been athletic since I was a kid. My parents got me playing tennis when I was seven years old and I started to play competitively Picture Quote #1

The kids know what I’m doing when I exercise, and that’s powerful. So don’t just tell your kids to go play outside. Take a moment off your computer, put on your tennis shoes, hop outside and help them start their game and run off some energy Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be remembered for my tennis accomplishments. That’s no contribution to society. [Tennis] was purely selfish; that was for me Picture Quote #1

There are many moments during a match when you are tense, wrestling with yourself. Tennis is a lesson in self-control Picture Quote #1

Women are everywhere. We’re letting them play golf and tennis now. It’s out of control Picture Quote #1

It is just a crazy life as a sportsman. My daughter, Sam, wants to go into tennis, and I tell her, ‘No, you don’t want to go into professional sport.’ Picture Quote #1

Tennis is basically a game where you try to create an opportunity for yourself to finish the point, because you can’t wait for the opponent to miss anymore. Well, if you create an opportunity and don’t take advantage of it, you let the opponent back to even, then you are just starting the point over, so you have to take advantage of them Picture Quote #1

I would like to thank all my tennis fans who were there from Day One when I was No. 1, through my stabbing, and my comeback Picture Quote #1

I’m a decent table tennis player, but if you were to put me up against any of the guys you see on television at the Olympics, I’d be lucky to get a couple of points Picture Quote #1

Family’s first, and that’s what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game Picture Quote #1

It’s more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery Picture Quote #1

I have been learning English on the road since I started when I was 15, so it is a slow process but making some progress. Now I think I am much more comfortable with my English. However, it is difficult, still, when I speak about something that is not tennis Picture Quote #1

Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don’t feel I’ve done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling Picture Quote #1
