It's so difficult to find time besides the tennis.

I knew that maybe I couldn't be playing again, but I just wanted to get in physical shape.

The tennis wasn't really very much on my mind, so it wasn't like I was thinking about it all the time.

I think it takes people to get to know you and the recognition comes over time.

It shifted attention away from that and I've never been someone who liked the attention from the media anyway.

I appreciate very much being injury-free.

It's so difficult to find time besides the tennis.

I never look back, I look forward.

I had a lot of different thoughts and ideas and always to transform, but I'm trying certain things that I feel my heart is really going for and that was one of the things that I initiated a few months ago.

I still take it seriously, but once I go out there I think I've got more relaxed and I think it shows.

Age, what is it? It's not a figure that has ever meant anything to me.

Grass is a surface I have always loved, Wimbledon is a tournament I have always loved.

I am a person who sticks to her word.

I don't like the word 'businesswoman.' Perhaps 'committed mother' would be the best description.

I don't wake up every day and think about which tournaments I won and which titles I hold. It's something I don't care about.

I have always been guided by striving to show the best that I could. That is what kept me going in tennis and it is the same now.

I never hanker after the past - I prefer to devote myself to new tasks.

I suppose it's amazing how quick life goes by when you have children.

I've thrown away lots of my old diaries - you never know who might get their hands on them. But I have kept a few notes on the good old days.

If you go to a big city anywhere in the world and you need a doctor, just ask me. I can tell you who's good and who's bad. I've even considered writing a guidebook.

My big dream was to work as a photographer for 'National Geographic.'

When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

You can have a certain arrogance, and I think that's fine, but what you should never lose is the respect for the others.

You cannot compare your athletic achievement to the importance of children and giving them a safe environment in which to grow up and enjoy life.

When you lose a couple of times it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

I don't ever look back. I look forward.

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.

I would like to see it go back to the wood racquets. To see the touch put back in tennis.

It's true I always try to be as seductive as possible but I wouldn't be here if I couldn't play tennis.

Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years.

When I was 12, every little girl in Russia was trying to wear her hair like mine and playing tennis.

What these guys are doing is great for Argentinean tennis. This is motivating other people.

I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

We are merely the stars tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them.

I used to be told if I talked about my sexuality in any way that we wouldn't have a tennis tour.

What I want out of tennis is not necessarily just winning.

I've been playing tennis, and just whatever sport is in front of me I will do.

Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.

Yeah, I think there are many other important things in life, not just tennis.

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.

The tennis wasn't really very much on my mind, so it wasn't like I was thinking about it all the time.

No, like I said, my dad was never really part of the tennis. His involvement around what I did with the tennis and with my mom and my grandparents was really not a part of my life.

Safin, in his way, is very talented. It is a joy to watch them play; it is tennis of a very high quality.

To meet my goals, I couldn't let up when I was playing tennis.

Both of us played basketball, and I played tennis and my knees are done. Now if you ask us head-to-head who wins at golf, I'm asking for a couple of strokes.

It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn't know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.

I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.

There are a lot of pretty girls. I am a tennis player first of all, that is why I am here, and if wasn't producing results no one would notice me.
