Tennis Player Quotes

Tennis players we're always playing in center courts that feel like arenas. And when we get on the court and the crowd cheers your name or salutes you - it's like you're a gladiator in the arena. And everyone is cheering - and you're fighting, you're screaming, during your strokes - it feels like you're an animal, fighting for your life. Novak Djokovic
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
As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it. Bjorn Borg
In Hollywood people lie to each other and cheat each other and then go and play tennis. But I don't want to be a tennis player. David Geffen
Even though there are a lot of bright tennis players out there, you still have to protect yourself and save all your mental and emotional energies for tennis. Chris Evert
I knew I was the second-best tennis player in the state of Florida and No. 8 in the United States of America when I was 12 years old and I couldn't tell you what I was in baseball, but I liked my chances in tennis of getting a scholarship to college. Jim Courier
It makes you also realize, 'OK, I'm excited to play tennis, and I work really hard to be the best tennis player I think I can be,' but I don't waste my time on stupid stuff, you know what I mean. Kim Clijsters
The pleasure of sport was so often the chance to indulge the cessation of time itself--the pitcher dawdling on the mound, the skier poised at the top of a mountain trail, the basketball player with the rough skin of the ball against his palm preparing for a foul shot, the tennis player at set point over his opponent--all of them savoring a moment before committing themselves to action. George Plimpton
I am a hero worshiper. I love the number one tennis player. I love the number one baseball player. I want to see those records broken. Martha Stewart
Marat Safin quote: "My mother said I would have more chances to become a tennis..."
My mother said I would have more chances to become a tennis player than a football player. Marat Safin
He knew what the Beats know and what the great tennis player knows, son: learn to do nothing, with your whole head and body, and everything will be done by what's around you. David Foster Wallace
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. Nikki Giovanni
Guy Forget quote: "To be a professional tennis player you need to put in these..."
To be a professional tennis player you need to put in these sort of hours. Guy Forget
I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn't stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper. Roger Federer
Relationships are give-and-take, and when you're a tennis player, you're certainly not giving. You have to be self-absorbed. It has to be about you. Chris Evert
