Playing aggressive tennis paid off.

Shinobu Asagoe

There are a lot of good teams in our conference where 100 percent of the players are international. The level of tennis in Houma and the Louisiana isn't high enough, so you have to go internationally.

Dominic Modise

While we didn't pick up a dual victory at this event, we did play some exceptionally competitive tennis. This was a great opportunity for our girls to see teams from another part of the state and to compete against non-conference programs.

Daryl Youngstrum

But when it comes to things like dancing or even a tennis match I'm not.

Tania Zaetta

It?s because I?m in America, ... It?s enough for me that Russian people know me. French people also know me. In America, I need to do something good, like play great in a Grand Slam or prove (himself) in a tournament like this on TV. Tennis is not important in America like it is in Europe.

Nikolay Davydenko

It was perfect tennis weather.

John Aragon

We are delighted that Paul has agreed to take on this role. He has demonstrated an extraordinary vision and skill over the past 12 years in his role at Tennis Australia and this, combined with his passion for golf, gives us great confidence in his ability to shape the future of the Australian Opens.

Jerry Ellis

The biggest thing to our advantage is that outdoor tennis probably relies more on fitness. The ball moves a little slower, the points last a little longer, and fortunately one of the things we've focused on from day one in the fall is our fitness. I feel like we're one of the fitter teams out there.

Tony Bresky

They all provide opportunities these kids would never have like learning to play tennis, golf, fish.

Danny Lyons

Tennis in Ashland is huge. I saw the potential for this.

Todd Wise

Outside tennis is really good for our team. I think we're a better outdoor team than an indoor team.

Rylan Rizza

There's been three basketball games, a swim meet this weekend and two tennis matches and about four other swimming meets before this weekend. The students are really coming out, too. It's amazing. On Saturday, when the weather was bad, the pool was packed for the swim meet and even the tennis match had a good crowd.

Marty Fuller

You can really see the relationship between the two sports (volleyball and tennis) in the way Amy hits the ball. She's pretty powerful.

Helen Donovan

I told him he absolutely had to get out there. I told him to put it behind him and go play better tennis, and he did. He hit more quality shots in that little match than he did in his entire singles match.

Nancy Clouse

It was just tennis balls from 30 feet. A tennis ball [weighs] about an ounce, so it was really easy.

Rocco Baldelli

James has been playing some great tennis the last two weeks and he'll probably be the crowd favorite since he lives 25 minutes from here, ... It should be a good atmosphere. It should be a very interesting match.

Tommy Haas

I just wanted to do something different, and I didn't know what to study back home. I wanted to play tennis, and here, I can both study and play tennis.

Merel Beelen

Even though the symbols of my victories are being sold, what I will always retain is the knowledge that for such a long period I was the supreme world tennis champion.

Bjorn Borg

The bids on the tennis courts will come in very soon.

Mayor Henry Espy

I think Courtney Owens, for never playing a tennis match a day in her life other than what she's played in practice, has done really well.

Marianne Bretschneider

It shows the hard work is paying off. Some of us grew up playing outside, but I think it's more of us just being comfortable on the court. Even if it's indoors, I think the guys are stepping up and just playing good tennis.

Neil Kenner

My game is a very aggressive kind of baseline tennis, ... But I also mixed up the shots, so they don't really know what is coming. I think I did that well.

Thomas Enqvist

He's got a big game and a big future. I never really felt I was in control of his service games. You're looking at the future of American tennis. He's a standout. He's got a big serve and grass is a surface he's going to get better on.

Pete Sampras

As long as we have confidence going into our matches, we have a great shot at winning some of those big contests. We plan on doing some things that have never been done at MTSU in women's tennis.

Alison Ojeda

They're just happy to be playing tennis. It will be a different season this year then in the past. They'll learn and play as much tennis as they can to gain experience. All the kids will get a chance to play singles and doubles. Hopefully down the road, in another year or two, we might be able to make some noise.

Gomer Morgan

It's just a lot of hard work from the girls. They are supporting one another, which promotes an environment that lets them play their best tennis.

Ben Bucca

A tennis racket is a pretty good tool. But a hammer would not be good.

Jean Hudson

Our success has been contagious. The support we get from the school and the parents is tremendous. I know it may sound corny, but being part of Lexington tennis is like being part of one, big family.

Robbie Hunter

It's sad for Argentina tennis and it's a very tough punishment.

Guillermo Vilas

This is not only a big win for Elena personally but also for UNLV tennis. She bounced back from a tough loss on Sunday (in college competition) and represented her school and program very well tonight.

Kevin Cory

This was the best played, most exciting high school doubles I have ever had the privilege of seeing. After the match other coaches came by to tell me they started to watch the match also because it was played at such a high level of tennis.

Tom Jensen

I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.

Maria Sharapova

I feel that I've improved in every facet of my game and am finally able to play my own style of tennis.

Shinobu Asagoe

If he played tennis, he'd probably be favorite for Wimbledon right now.

David Stevens

For tennis aficionados, last year?s final was the best tennis ever. But human nature is people want to see the top seeds get through. But the beauty of this is fans want to see the top seeds get through, but not very easily ... Our advance sales were down, a little, and I credit that to last year?s tournament not getting the top seeds through.

Anne Worcester

Tennis is such an intense sport. They have the toughest schedule all year around. It's kind of cruel, actually. So for a couple of weeks, she was able to enjoy herself in Jersey.

Brian Lynch

We had some bright spots out there with our younger guys. Dane (freshman), Derek (sophomore) and Mike (freshman) picked up some good wins. This was as close a match as you can get. It was a perfect day for tennis.

Dana Trumm

Morgan is playing really good. He's 3-3 at singles (before last Tuesday) after not playing last year. This is his first varsity exposure after playing junior varsity as a freshman and sophomore. He's pretty good for not having played many varsity tennis matches.

John Fill

When I was 40, my doctor advised me that a man in his 40s shouldn't play tennis. I heeded his advice carefully and could hardly wait until I reached 50 to start again.

Hugo Black

Actually, it's not a cut-throat competition. It's more like stress-free tennis.

James Kemp

Goran Ivanisevic has been one of the most exciting personalities in tennis in the last 15 years. We are thrilled to add him to the field in Boston where the indoor surface will certainly make him one of the favorites for the title.

Jon Venison

She accepted the travel and living in hotels for 11 months, ... With a child, she could have said she wanted to be home, and that would have been difficult. After a match it's 10 p.m., and then you have dinner until 12 - all the inconveniences of a pro athlete. Tennis was my first priority, and she accepted it. She gave advice and supported me.

Hicham El Guerrouj

It's finally great to put together two really great sets. I think that's the first time I've done that all season. I played some of the best tennis I've played in my four years.

Darrin Cohen

Jimmy Connors plays two tennis matches and winds up with $850,000, and Muhammad Ali fights one bout and winds up with five million bucks. Me, I play one-hundred and ninety games, and I'm overpaid!

Johnny Bench

There are lots of kids getting more serious about their tennis at a much earlier age than elsewhere.

Larry Scott

I think it's one of the best matches I've played. I think we both had fun and were enjoying it. ... We played our best tennis and enjoyed the match and enjoyed the moment.

Paradorn Srichaphan

He's an outstanding player. I'm just happy to be in Hawaii. I'm lucky I get paid to play tennis and show these kids how much fun it is. This used to be a conservative game, now we have music, rock 'n' roll tennis.

Luke Jensen

We have experience and lots of depth ? and that?s the combination you need to win at high school tennis. We?re very blessed.

Pam Reeves

The club has held discussions with the manufacturers and the International Tennis Federation and has decided that as suitable testing has not yet been carried out by them on grass, the system will not be used for line-calling this year.

Brian Ritchie

I think tennis has really got itself pulled together now, with the ITF taking full charge of testing. I don't think the penalties are too strict; doping is a serious offense.

Peter Bodo

Our goal is to make states and compete for the Shoreline championship. We also want to develop strong and assertive tennis players.

Maude Bing

He was the best player in tennis for more than 10 years, and a lot of people don't realize that because he missed all those years at Wimbledon.

Greg Gonzales

Pete is a great champion and fans have really missed his talent and character since he retired. His WTT matches will be the hottest ticket in tennis this summer.

Ilana Kloss

The Tennis Channel meets a demand in sports programming today - a complete tennis category - and enhances DISH Network's powerful sports and lifestyle programming line up. DISH Network is proud to be the first national television provider to offer a channel dedicated to tennis, a sport that's uniquely popular among men and women of all ages.

Eric Sahl

She introduced the whole thing by saying there are two sports that are directly relevant to acting -- tennis and fencing.

Eric Bryant

One of their girls played a serve and volley game that is very uncommon in the tennis world, yet very effective. With such a different playing style, we were simply out gunned. Thus ended a great CHS Tennis season.
