For me the most important thing has always been tennis, and that's what I want to get across the image I want to portray is a hard-working tennis player.

Andy Murray

The most challenging thing is people do see me as a tennis player, but I've had a lot of opportunities because I am a tennis player. And I don't mind that.

Venus Williams

Sometimes it's harder to play good tennis with a bad tennis player - the same way it's hard to be a good actor with a bad actor. It's just an unpleasant experience.

Josh Lucas

I might have been too tiny for it, but I wanted to become a professional tennis player. I was a pretty good tennis player as a kid, but ultimately I just don't think that I have that jock mentality needed for sports.

Robbie Rist

I don't really see myself as a talented player. I just like working hard, and working hard brings great achievements.

Jadon Sancho

I'd much rather people knew me as a good tennis player than as an aboriginal who happens to play good tennis. Of course I'm proud of my race, but I don't want to be thinking about it all the time.

Evonne Goolagong Cawley

Any quality player can adjust well to the different demands. It is like a good tennis player who is expected to adjust to the clay at the French Open, the grass at Wimbledon, the hard courts of the U.S. and the heat of the Australian Open. A professional is expected to do all that.

Gautam Gambhir

I started in a very small tennis club in a South American country where I never thought about becoming the best tennis player.

Garbine Muguruza

I know China are very good in table tennis. Let me see what happens in tennis. I am pretty happy with the way I am playing.

Anastasia Myskina

As a kid, I wanted to be a pro tennis player. I was pretty good; at the tennis academies I attended, I always 'played up' against older age groups.

Matt Kuchar

As a kid, I wanted to be a pro tennis player. I was pretty good; at the tennis academies I attended, I always played up against older age groups.

Matt Kuchar

I am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldnt have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made.

Rafael Nadal

I am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldn't have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made.

Rafael Nadal

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.
