“We have a guy from Switzerland who is just playing the game in a way I haven’t seen anyone – and I mean anyone – play before.”

I don’t really care what the man on the street thinks. I never did anything to please him in the first place, and I’m not going to start now.

I met with my lawyers. They gave me all the wrong advice. For a long time I refused to accept the child was mine. I should have met her, arranged a DNA test and accepted my responsibility.

So this is it. Match point for eternity.

The fifth set is not about tennis, it’s about nerves.

The boys are so powerful off of the baseline now that they don’t have to come to the net to finish points. That’s the reason we went to the net. To finish the point. Nowadays, even the big guys can hit winners four feet behind the baseline.

A few years after my first son was born, he wanted to know how we chose his name, so I began reading him the story of Noah’s Ark.

How fortunate we are to be able to see that. If he stays healthy and motivated – and the wonderful feel he has stays with him – he is the kind of guy who can overtake the greatest.

I didn’t start a war. Nobody died.

Winning is a way of expressing yourself.

I haven’t lost a war. No one got killed. I just lost a tennis match.

I got addicted to Tetris, playing it in my basement, I was missing all these airplane flights over it. After the fourth one that I missed, I realized I needed to get rid of this thing – so ever since then, I don’t play video games any more.

I want people to come to the game to see what I will do next.

We want to get to a point where Twitter highlights lead to purchase of a live game

Nicklaus at the 86 Masters. At his age, with his game at the time.

The world becomes an apparently infinite, yet possibly finite, card game. Image combinations, permutations, comprise the world game.

Once you put in all the work pre-practice and post-practice and see it in a game and see it in play, that’s a great feeling.

Most people get excited about games, but I’ve got to be excited about practice, because that’s my classroom.

Those who play a safe game die very safely.
