A Quote by Tim Henman

Volleying comes into grass-court tennis because it's a surface that favours the player who gets on the front foot. So if you've got an opportunity to come in and be aggressive, then finishing the points at the net is always going to be a good strategy.

My game is suited to grass because I'm really aggressive on the court. I have a big serve, I'm quick, I hit the ball hard, and I go to net so I have everything a player needs to do well on grass.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

I was surprised I won the award because I've always been a very aggressive player and I earn my share of fouls on the court. I play rough, and because I'm an older player, of course I use tricks on the younger players.

Sue Wicks

I want to be remembered as a great player, but I guess it will be as a player who got angry on a tennis court.

John McEnroe

I'm a good tennis player, and I've never done so good on grass.

Gael Monfils

I grew up playing tennis. My father has a tennis court at his home in Bel Air and I was always watching him on the tennis court as a kid, he was a fanatic. I started playing seriously around ninth grade.

Why I love chess and tennis - the volleying aspect, and the fact that your competitors' reactions and motivations and bluffs come into the game itself.

Christopher Bollen

Ivan Lendl's never going to be a great player on grass. The only time he comes to the net is to shake your hand.

Goran Ivanisevic

I've always been a very harsh judge of talent because if you don't play the game on both ends of the court, and if you don't play hard every night, I'm probably not going to be in love with you as a player. I'm going to respect you because you're good, but these players are unique.

Jerry West

Having three tough finishing holes in a major, you know, you know that, most likely, it's going to come down to those last three holes. Having a good game plan, a good strategy, and executing obviously is going to be the big key.

Dustin Johnson

I got my first tennis racket on my seventh birthday. And because we had a tennis court in our backyard, I played every day. By ten I was playing competitively.

Tullian Tchividjian

Everybody is trying to help me, to give me confidence, telling me that I'm a good player. Because I look shy on the court. So I have to be more aggressive.

Bojan Bogdanovic

I'm going to come in and learn and be the best player I can be on the court as well as off the court.

Collin Sexton

As one of my teachers, Buckminster Fuller, says, we were given a right foot and a left foot, not a right foot and a wrong foot. The point is that, there's always two points of view out there, and we need to increase our ability to allow another point of view. Then we have a better chance for peace.

Robert Kiyosaki

When you fight corruption, corruption strikes back and that is the truth because when you fight corruption, you get confidence and when it gets to impunity, then it gets aggressive and says, 'oh, so you think you are different? You think you are tough and different?' This is why some of us are almost permanently in the libel court.

Wole Soyinka

People in tennis, they've been in a certain bubble for so long they don't even know who they are, because obviously it's just been tennis, tennis, tennis. And let it be just tennis, tennis, tennis. Be locked into that. But when tennis is done, then what? It's kinda like: Let's enjoy being great at the sport.

Frances Tiafoe

I'm aggressive, quite frankly, because Staten Island gets screwed all the time. And if I'm not aggressive, then I won't be successful. That's not being a bad boy. That's doing my job.
