A Quote by Roger Federer

The nicer the point, the more -- the better I feel, the more excited I get. But I never play that my opponent looks stupid. I think that is wrong. I have too much respect for every opponent I play.

Our team goal is pretty simple ... basically prepare ourselves to play for nine innings every day, every series, and against every opponent. For me individually, it's more of just trying to play my role the best I can every day.

Curtis Granderson

I'm not going to bag on people and make funny jokes about my opponent. I just respect every opponent I go in against.

Joseph Benavidez

I think the more I play, the more goals I will score and will become more prolific because I'm working hard in training to become a better player every day and I do believe I can play for England at some point.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

One doesn't have to play well, it's enough to play better than your opponent

Siegbert Tarrasch

You play against an opponent so much the numbers got to match at some point! I played against the Raiders six years straight pretty much. I played against them more than any team I've ever played.

Emmanuel Sanders

Knowing your opponent is a crucial part of emulating and defeating that opponent. But scouting is only the first step. Too many leaders spend countless hours studying an opponent's every move in the search for an edge. The Great Teams understand not only how to scout but also how to exploit the weaknesses of a competitor. These teams analyze every perspective and option and position themselves to take full advantage of any knowledge gained about an opponent.

Don Yaeger

Don't get me wrong. I don't take anything for granted. But it seems like the better I play, the more attention I get. And I can't get away from it. You play great, you get attention. But I hate attention. It is weird. I'm in a bind. The more you win, the more they come.

Derrick Rose

People respect you more if you just play and blow something out than if you take the easier road. That's how we think. You get more respect and people play harder for you. Just play till you blow it. Just play till it goes.

Terry Bradshaw

In tournament cricket, with a new opponent each game, I think you actually need to play to your own strengths more.

Moeen Ali

I respect every opponent no matter their record, no matter their title belts. I approach each opponent the same way.

Celestino Caballero

Every boxer is tough for me. I don't think any opponent is better than any other. Every opponent is the same for me.

Celestino Caballero

I think that the more that you play and the more instruments you play and the better you get at them, then you will be better off for it as a guitarist.

Matt Skiba

Sometimes when you get to the press conferences, you hear you're going to play this person in the semifinals, and in the quarters, you're going to play her. And I'm like, 'Hold on a second.' First of all, you have to make it there. Second, your opponent needs to make it there. It looks easier on paper than it is in real life.

Caroline Wozniacki

You can concede to an opponent something he hasn't earned. It's one thing to underestimate an opponent. But maybe the worst thing is to overestimate. You always play your strengths. But that doesn't mean you become predictable.

Chuck Knox

You have to tackle. Football is not composed of just taking the ball, or clearing the ball, properly, without touching the opponent? No. If you clear the ball and the opponent is in the middle of it... I feel sorry for the opponent!
