Pam has always been my glamorous big sister - 13 years older than I. She played on the women's circuit for nine years and came home to tell me stories of France, Japan.
My brother Jeff is now my agent at Advantage International in Washington, D.C.
Mary Joe Fernandez rarely has a bad loss. She never tries for stupid shots.
I was planning to remain an amateur for a while.
I won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 1980.
