Lindsay Davenport was saying 12 months ago that this might be her last Wimbledon, but things have completely changed because she's healthy.
The prize money for first place was $2,800, but I didn't take it because I was still an amateur.
Rosie is just the best, ... Anytime you get to be with friends in a nice area it's a win-win situation.
My brother Jeff is now my agent at Advantage International in Washington, D.C.
Martina at 48 certainly is well worth watching still, ... Martina still has one of the best volleys on the tour. Her technique is the best. That's pretty impressive.
We all need to show a debt of gratitude toward Billie.
She's had a frustrating year physically. It's amazing that she won the Australian Open in this shape.
She's not fit and not looking any fitter than she did at Wimbledon,
So many times in the past on the women's side of the draw you'd really have to wait until the second week before it became a little more interesting. But with Serena, I think her first matches will be extremely enjoyable to watch because of the curiosity factor: How fit is she, how well is she going to play?
Doesn't matter how good you are. You know, you don't even have to have played tennis at all. And, you can come out here and be able to hit the shots and run around and burn those calories.
It's not a coincidence there are this many injuries. If the WTA and (CEO) Larry Scott don't take this as a big warning that something needs to be done, then they have got a problem.
It's been brutal this summer, and maybe this will be a real catalyst for the WTA to look at.
It seems like she's really enjoying herself. She's able to smile out there. She's really fit. And she has that big, first-strike ability to get ahead early.
It's about being with friends and raising money, ... To me, that's most important.
