I love the feel of hitting the ball hard, the pleasure of a rally. It is these things that make tennis the delightful game that it is. Helen Wills Moody

I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well. Billie Jean King

I'd like to be the commissioner of tennis, but do I want to get into politics? Sometimes I have delusions of grandeur that that would be an interesting, good thing. I'm talking about actual politics, like being a congressman, but then I see how unbelievably nasty it really is, and maybe I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to actually do it. John McEnroe
I'd like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis. Venus Williams
I'd like to think I could have and should have won more, but that's not the point. And I was at the point where I was playing great tennis in the mid 80s - the type of tennis people hadn't seen before - and I was very proud of that. John McEnroe
If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me. Pete Sampras
If I'm being honest, I think I'd be good at television; I just don't know if I am interested, because you are kind of geographically responsible to a location, and frankly I don't know if I retired from tennis so that I could sit around tennis tournaments 12 hours a day. Andy Roddick
If they had rankings in baseball, maybe I would have been able to do the math and figure out my chances of being a professional baseball player versus a tennis player. But that was the decision-maker for me, I just thought I was better in tennis.Jim Courier
If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street, that's concentration. Serena Williams
