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.
Robert became the most important force in my life for my young tennis career. He was part father, part brother, part tyrant. The perfect coach.
Kim is playing the best tennis right now coming into the U.S. Open.
I started tennis around age 2.
I began playing in the Pacific Coast Indoor Tennis Championships.
To meet my goals, I couldn't let up when I was playing tennis.
I was too young to take it all in. I was too young to even realize I was young. I was just living my life.
I knew I needed to take balls out of the air if I could put them away. I wanted to end the points a little sooner and be more aggressive.
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.
I was 5 when I began semiprivate lessons.
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.
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,
