A Quote by John Isner

I was playing 60, 70 matches a year in college. In the pros, unless you're winning, you're not playing that many.

Playing main-draw matches helps, and playing in front of crowds and playing in big matches definitely helps, getting them all under your belt.

Jack Sock

I think sometimes you just need to play in this league. As a rookie coming out of college, you don't understand the real significance of being a pro unless you're playing other pros. It doesn't help you to play sporadically here or there.

Michael Cooper

I love playing the game. I always have. Of course, winning matches makes it much sweeter. The wins and the losses always lead to these big moments, unless you're Serena Williams.

Venus Williams

I know in college, a player is playing for something every year so it is constantly competitive while in residency although you're playing with the top players in your age, you don't have many competitions other than the U-17 or U-20 World Cups.

Steve Purdy

I don't know if there were many pros for me playing early. I feel like I dug myself a pretty deep hole that rookie year.

Alex Smith

The only way to get back the confidence is to play and win matches. You can practise as much as you like, but you need confidence that comes from playing and winning matches.

Greg Rusedski

If you're playing 55 to 60 snaps, you have opportunities to pace yourself, pick spots. When you're not playing as many and you don't know necessarily when you're going to be in, you do have to sometimes make it happen when you're out there.

Julius Peppers

So I think, for me, playing matches - actually being in real matches - is the best way to get myself playing the best tennis.

Taylor Fritz

Arsenal have won that advantage, nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies, they won that respect that the opponent has for them.

Jose Mourinho

I've been playing in L.A. for a long time through college and pros, just to be ready. It's different out here.

Matt Barnes

Playing tennis, I didn't tie in my self-worth into winning or losing matches.

Martina Navratilova

With what I've already achieved in my career - winning trophies and playing in finals, important matches against Real Madrid and Barcelona, winning the Europa League and the Super Cup, and in the Champions League - sometimes you've earned the right to say something.

Thibaut Courtois

Playing the role of the 70-year-old woman is quite an experience.

Sudha Chandran

What is the single most important quality in a tennis champion? I would have to say desire, staying in there and winning matches when you are not playing that well.

John McEnroe

I don't know how many 19 year-olds are playing in the Championship, there's certainly not any playing in the Premiership. It depends on what type of character you are really.

Jack Butland

I went over a year without playing baseball. At 39, not playing for a year, a year and a half, there were a lot of nights I was saying, 'This is going to be tough.'

Alex Rodriguez
